Shorting Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 6.8 million Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Supernus Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 5.2% up from 6.5 million last month.

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

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

Supernus Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 577458.11384877). Supernus Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 11.77. In other words for every 100,000 Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11770 shares are currently held short.

However Supernus Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Supernus Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.13% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 130 shares are currently held short) or 0.1929% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 193 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Supernus Pharmaceuticals.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Supernus Pharmaceuticals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.12 up to $31.99. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
