Verso Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.5. In other words for every 100,000 Verso Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1500 shares are currently held short.

However Verso Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Verso Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Verso Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Verso Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Verso Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0141% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Verso Corporation shares, roughly 14 shares are currently held short).
