Shorting SunCoke Energy shares

There are currently 3.2 million SunCoke Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as SunCoke Energy's "short interest". This figure is 27.1% up from 2.5 million last month.

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

SunCoke Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

SunCoke Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of SunCoke Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of SunCoke Energy shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). SunCoke Energy's SIR currently stands at 2.12. In other words for every 100,000 SunCoke Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2120 shares are currently held short.

However SunCoke Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of SunCoke Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable SunCoke Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case SunCoke Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 SunCoke Energy shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.046% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable SunCoke Energy shares, roughly 46 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 SunCoke Energy.
