Shorting Asensus Surgical shares

There are currently 6.7 million Asensus Surgical shares held short by investors – that's known as Asensus Surgical's "short interest". This figure is 26.9% down from 9.2 million last month.

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

Asensus Surgical's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Asensus Surgical's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Asensus Surgical shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Asensus Surgical shares traded daily (recently around 48.2 million). Asensus Surgical's SIR currently stands at 0.14. In other words for every 100,000 Asensus Surgical shares traded daily on the market, roughly 140 shares are currently held short.

However Asensus Surgical's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Asensus Surgical shares, or, against the total number of tradable Asensus Surgical shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Asensus Surgical's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Asensus Surgical shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0302% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Asensus Surgical shares, roughly 30 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 Asensus Surgical.
