There are currently 1.8 million Stericycle shares held short by investors – that's known as Stericycle's "short interest". This figure is 8.9% down from 2.0 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) is the quantity of Stericycle shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Stericycle shares traded daily (recently around 393872.29437229). Stericycle's SIR currently stands at 4.62. In other words for every 100,000 Stericycle shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4620 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 0.0199% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Stericycle shares, roughly 20 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.

We're not expecting Stericycle to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Stericycle's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 June 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Stericycle shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Stericycle shares which in turn could have impacted Stericycle's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Stericycle's shares have ranged in value from as little as $38.45 up to $79.5. 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 Stericycle's is 1.3943. This would suggest that Stericycle's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
