Shorting SPI Energy CoLtd shares

There are currently 1.2 million SPI Energy CoLtd shares held short by investors – that's known as SPI Energy CoLtd's "short interest". This figure is 4.9% up from 1.1 million last month.

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

SPI Energy CoLtd's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

SPI Energy CoLtd's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of SPI Energy CoLtd shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of SPI Energy CoLtd shares traded daily (recently around 3.0 million). SPI Energy CoLtd's SIR currently stands at 0.39. In other words for every 100,000 SPI Energy CoLtd shares traded daily on the market, roughly 390 shares are currently held short.

However SPI Energy CoLtd's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of SPI Energy CoLtd shares, or, against the total number of tradable SPI Energy CoLtd shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case SPI Energy CoLtd's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 SPI Energy CoLtd shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0745% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable SPI Energy CoLtd shares, roughly 75 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 SPI Energy CoLtd.

Have SPI Energy CoLtd's shares ever split?

SPI Energy CoLtd's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 16 November 2018. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your SPI Energy CoLtd shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for SPI Energy CoLtd shares which in turn could have impacted SPI Energy CoLtd's share price.

SPI Energy CoLtd share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, SPI Energy CoLtd's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.55 up to $16.18. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while SPI Energy CoLtd's is 1.0955. This would suggest that SPI Energy CoLtd's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
