Shorting Woori Financial Group shares

There are currently 51,202 Woori Financial Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Woori Financial Group's "short interest". This figure is 31.2% up from 39,013 last month.

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

Woori Financial Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Woori Financial Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Woori Financial Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Woori Financial Group shares traded daily (recently around 32821.794871795). Woori Financial Group's SIR currently stands at 1.56. In other words for every 100,000 Woori Financial Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1560 shares are currently held short.

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