Shorting XOMA Corporation shares

There are currently 441,755 XOMA Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as XOMA Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 21% down from 558,844 last month.

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

XOMA Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

XOMA Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of XOMA Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of XOMA Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 43098.048780488). XOMA Corporation's SIR currently stands at 10.25. In other words for every 100,000 XOMA Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10250 shares are currently held short.

However XOMA Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of XOMA Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable XOMA Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case XOMA Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 XOMA Corporation shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.054% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable XOMA Corporation shares, roughly 54 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 XOMA Corporation.

Have XOMA Corporation's shares ever split?

However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for XOMA Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted XOMA Corporation's share price.
