Shorting VEON shares

There are currently 50.3 million VEON shares held short by investors – that's known as VEON's "short interest". This figure is 3% down from 51.8 million last month.

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

VEON's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

VEON's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of VEON shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of VEON shares traded daily (recently around 11.6 million). VEON's SIR currently stands at 4.33. In other words for every 100,000 VEON shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4330 shares are currently held short.

However VEON's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of VEON shares, or, against the total number of tradable VEON shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case VEON's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 VEON shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0554% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable VEON shares, roughly 55 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 VEON.

VEON share dividends

We're not expecting VEON to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have VEON's shares ever split?

VEON's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 21 August 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your VEON shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for VEON shares which in turn could have impacted VEON's share price.

VEON share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, VEON's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.2 up to $2.38. 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 VEON's is 1.3275. This would suggest that VEON's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
