Shorting Tractor Supply Company shares

There are currently 4.3 million Tractor Supply Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Tractor Supply Company's "short interest". This figure is 7.9% down from 4.7 million last month.

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

Tractor Supply Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Tractor Supply Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tractor Supply Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tractor Supply Company shares traded daily (recently around 1.3 million). Tractor Supply Company's SIR currently stands at 3.44. In other words for every 100,000 Tractor Supply Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3440 shares are currently held short.

However Tractor Supply Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tractor Supply Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tractor Supply Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tractor Supply Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tractor Supply Company shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0421% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tractor Supply Company shares, roughly 42 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 Tractor Supply Company.
