Shorting The New York Times Company shares

There are currently 15.3 million The New York Times Company shares held short by investors – that's known as The New York Times Company's "short interest". This figure is 7.9% down from 16.6 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting The New York Times Company shares can be evaluated.

The New York Times Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

The New York Times Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of The New York Times Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of The New York Times Company shares traded daily (recently around 1.4 million). The New York Times Company's SIR currently stands at 10.92. In other words for every 100,000 The New York Times Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10920 shares are currently held short.

However The New York Times Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of The New York Times Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable The New York Times Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case The New York Times Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 The New York Times Company shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.0987% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable The New York Times Company shares, roughly 99 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 The New York Times Company.
