Shorting Voya Financial shares

There are currently 15.8 million Voya Financial shares held short by investors – that's known as Voya Financial's "short interest". This figure is 11% down from 17.8 million last month.

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

Voya Financial's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Voya Financial's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Voya Financial shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Voya Financial shares traded daily (recently around 1.1 million). Voya Financial's SIR currently stands at 14.66. In other words for every 100,000 Voya Financial shares traded daily on the market, roughly 14660 shares are currently held short.

However Voya Financial's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Voya Financial shares, or, against the total number of tradable Voya Financial shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Voya Financial's short interest could be expressed as 0.13% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Voya Financial shares in existence, roughly 130 shares are currently held short) or 0.1413% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Voya Financial shares, roughly 141 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Voya Financial.
