Shorting SmileDirectClub shares

There are currently 24.4 million SmileDirectClub shares held short by investors – that's known as SmileDirectClub's "short interest". This figure is 16.1% up from 21.0 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting SmileDirectClub shares can be evaluated.

SmileDirectClub's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

SmileDirectClub's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of SmileDirectClub shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of SmileDirectClub shares traded daily (recently around 8.4 million). SmileDirectClub's SIR currently stands at 2.9. In other words for every 100,000 SmileDirectClub shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2900 shares are currently held short.

However SmileDirectClub's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of SmileDirectClub shares, or, against the total number of tradable SmileDirectClub shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case SmileDirectClub's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 SmileDirectClub shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.2831% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable SmileDirectClub shares, roughly 283 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against SmileDirectClub.
