Shorting Tivity Health shares

There are currently 8.1 million Tivity Health shares held short by investors – that's known as Tivity Health's "short interest". This figure is 7.3% up from 7.5 million last month.

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

Tivity Health's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Tivity Health's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tivity Health shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tivity Health shares traded daily (recently around 424789.22753547). Tivity Health's SIR currently stands at 19.03. In other words for every 100,000 Tivity Health shares traded daily on the market, roughly 19030 shares are currently held short.

However Tivity Health's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tivity Health shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tivity Health shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tivity Health's short interest could be expressed as 0.17% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tivity Health shares in existence, roughly 170 shares are currently held short) or 0.2994% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tivity Health shares, roughly 299 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 Tivity Health.

Have Tivity Health's shares ever split?

Tivity Health's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 December 2003. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tivity Health shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Tivity Health shares which in turn could have impacted Tivity Health's share price.

Tivity Health share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Tivity Health's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.92 up to $25.45. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Tivity Health's is 2.4626. This would suggest that Tivity Health's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
