The Gorman-Rupp Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
The Gorman-Rupp Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of The Gorman-Rupp Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of The Gorman-Rupp Company shares traded daily (recently around 49852.826855124).

However The Gorman-Rupp Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of The Gorman-Rupp Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable The Gorman-Rupp Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case The Gorman-Rupp Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 The Gorman-Rupp Company shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0136% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable The Gorman-Rupp Company shares, roughly 14 shares are currently held short).

The Gorman-Rupp Company share dividends

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.89% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The Gorman-Rupp Company shareholders could enjoy a 1.89% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Gorman-Rupp Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.59 per share.
The Gorman-Rupp Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your The Gorman-Rupp Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Gorman-Rupp Company shares which in turn could have impacted The Gorman-Rupp Company's share price.
