Shorting Workhorse Group shares

There are currently 39.2 million Workhorse Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Workhorse Group's "short interest". This figure is 20.4% up from 32.6 million last month.

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

Workhorse Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Workhorse Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Workhorse Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Workhorse Group shares traded daily (recently around 18.7 million). Workhorse Group's SIR currently stands at 2.1. In other words for every 100,000 Workhorse Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2100 shares are currently held short.

However Workhorse Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Workhorse Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Workhorse Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Workhorse Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.33% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Workhorse Group shares in existence, roughly 330 shares are currently held short) or 0.3355% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Workhorse Group shares, roughly 336 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 Workhorse Group.
