Shorting Stericycle shares

There are currently 1.7 million Stericycle shares held short by investors – that's known as Stericycle's "short interest". This figure is 7.2% down from 1.8 million last month.

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

Stericycle's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Stericycle's SIR currently stands at 4.19. In other words for every 100,000 Stericycle shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4190 shares are currently held short.

However Stericycle's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Stericycle shares, or, against the total number of tradable Stericycle shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Stericycle's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Stericycle shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0184% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Stericycle shares, roughly 18 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 Stericycle.
