Shorting Tandem Diabetes Care shares

There are currently 3.9 million Tandem Diabetes Care shares held short by investors – that's known as Tandem Diabetes Care's "short interest". This figure is 3.8% up from 3.7 million last month.

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

Tandem Diabetes Care's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Tandem Diabetes Care's SIR currently stands at 6.48. In other words for every 100,000 Tandem Diabetes Care shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6480 shares are currently held short.

However Tandem Diabetes Care's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tandem Diabetes Care shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tandem Diabetes Care shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tandem Diabetes Care's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tandem Diabetes Care shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0711% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tandem Diabetes Care shares, roughly 71 shares are currently held short).
