W-and-T Offshore's SIR currently stands at 3.52. In other words for every 100,000 W-and-T Offshore shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3520 shares are currently held short.

However W-and-T Offshore's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of W-and-T Offshore shares, or, against the total number of tradable W-and-T Offshore shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case W-and-T Offshore's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 W-and-T Offshore shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.1015% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable W-and-T Offshore shares, roughly 102 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 W-and-T Offshore.
