There are currently 3.5 million American Finance Trust shares held short by investors – that's known as American Finance Trust's "short interest". This figure is 3.2% up from 3.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting American Finance Trust shares can be evaluated.
American Finance Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
American Finance Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of American Finance Trust shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of American Finance Trust shares traded daily (recently around 590253.89830508). American Finance Trust's SIR currently stands at 5.9. In other words for every 100,000 American Finance Trust shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5900 shares are currently held short.
However American Finance Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of American Finance Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable American Finance Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case American Finance Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 American Finance Trust shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0377% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable American Finance Trust shares, roughly 38 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against American Finance Trust.

American Finance Trust share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 48.29% of net profits
Recently American Finance Trust has paid out, on average, around 48.29% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.71% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), American Finance Trust shareholders could enjoy a 10.71% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In American Finance Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $0.85 per share.
While American Finance Trust's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that American Finance Trust may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
American Finance Trust's most recent dividend payout was on 15 January 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 January 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
American Finance Trust share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, American Finance Trust's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.8538 up to $12.3055. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while American Finance Trust's is 1.371. This would suggest that American Finance Trust's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
