Shorting Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 607,795 Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 3% up from 589,885 last month.

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

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 568032.71028037). Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 1.07. In other words for every 100,000 Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1070 shares are currently held short.

However Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0346% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 35 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 Sunesis Pharmaceuticals.

However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sunesis Pharmaceuticals shares which in turn could have impacted Sunesis Pharmaceuticals's share price.
