Is Tiptree under- or over-valued?

Shorting Tiptree shares

There are currently 279,982 Tiptree shares held short by investors – that's known as Tiptree's "short interest". This figure is 3% down from 288,634 last month.

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

Tiptree's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Tiptree's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tiptree shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tiptree shares traded daily (recently around 57609.465020576). Tiptree's SIR currently stands at 4.86. In other words for every 100,000 Tiptree shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4860 shares are currently held short.

However Tiptree's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tiptree shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tiptree shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tiptree's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tiptree shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0109% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tiptree shares, roughly 11 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 Tiptree.
