UMH Properties's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However UMH Properties's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of UMH Properties shares, or, against the total number of tradable UMH Properties shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case UMH Properties's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 UMH Properties shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0137% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable UMH Properties shares, roughly 14 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 UMH Properties.

In UMH Properties's case, that would currently equate to about $0.74 per share.

UMH Properties's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
