Shorting Zuora shares

There are currently 6.7 million Zuora shares held short by investors – that's known as Zuora's "short interest". This figure is 29.1% up from 5.2 million last month.

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

Zuora's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Zuora's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Zuora shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Zuora shares traded daily (recently around 3.4 million). Zuora's SIR currently stands at 1.94. In other words for every 100,000 Zuora shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1940 shares are currently held short.

However Zuora's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Zuora shares, or, against the total number of tradable Zuora shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Zuora's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Zuora shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0638% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Zuora shares, roughly 64 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 Zuora.
