Shorting World Fuel Services Corporation shares
There are currently 1.2 million World Fuel Services Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as World Fuel Services Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 14.4% down from 1.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting World Fuel Services Corporation shares can be evaluated.
World Fuel Services Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
World Fuel Services Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of World Fuel Services Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of World Fuel Services Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 470695.83333333). World Fuel Services Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.64. In other words for every 100,000 World Fuel Services Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2640 shares are currently held short.
However World Fuel Services Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of World Fuel Services Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable World Fuel Services Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case World Fuel Services Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 World Fuel Services Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0229% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable World Fuel Services Corporation shares, roughly 23 shares are currently held short).

Dividend payout ratio: 20% of net profits
Recently World Fuel Services Corporation has paid out, on average, around 20% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), World Fuel Services Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In World Fuel Services Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While World Fuel Services Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that World Fuel Services Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

World Fuel Services Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 8 December 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your World Fuel Services Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for World Fuel Services Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted World Fuel Services Corporation's share price.
World Fuel Services Corporation share price volatility
