Shorting TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares

There are currently 93,257 TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as TransGlobe Energy Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 10.2% down from 103,848 last month.

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

TransGlobe Energy Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

TransGlobe Energy Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 4.7 million). TransGlobe Energy Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.02. In other words for every 100,000 TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 20 shares are currently held short.

However TransGlobe Energy Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TransGlobe Energy Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0004% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TransGlobe Energy Corporation shares, roughly 0 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 TransGlobe Energy Corporation.
