Shorting TE Connectivity shares

There are currently 4.2 million TE Connectivity shares held short by investors – that's known as TE Connectivity's "short interest". This figure is 7.5% down from 4.5 million last month.

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

TE Connectivity's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

TE Connectivity's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of TE Connectivity shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of TE Connectivity shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). TE Connectivity's SIR currently stands at 3.48. In other words for every 100,000 TE Connectivity shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3480 shares are currently held short.

However TE Connectivity's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TE Connectivity shares, or, against the total number of tradable TE Connectivity shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TE Connectivity's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TE Connectivity shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0128% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TE Connectivity shares, roughly 13 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 TE Connectivity.

TE Connectivity share dividends

Recently TE Connectivity has paid out, on average, around 32.72% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.37% of the current stock value.

In TE Connectivity's case, that would currently equate to about $1.94 per share.

While TE Connectivity's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that TE Connectivity may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
