How to short and sell Chembio Diagnostics shares

  1. Create a CFD or spread betting account.
  2. Search for the stock code. E.g. "CEMI.US"

There are currently 2.0 million Chembio Diagnostics shares held short by investors – that's known as the "short interest". This figure is 0.1% down from 2.0 million last month.

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

Short interest ratio (SIR)

Chembio Diagnostics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Chembio Diagnostics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Chembio Diagnostics shares traded daily (recently around 800848.17813765). Chembio Diagnostics's SIR currently stands at 2.47. In other words for every 100,000 Chembio Diagnostics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2470 shares are currently held short.

However Chembio Diagnostics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Chembio Diagnostics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Chembio Diagnostics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Chembio Diagnostics's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Chembio Diagnostics shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.0998% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Chembio Diagnostics shares, roughly 100 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 Chembio Diagnostics.

Chembio Diagnostics share dividends

We're not expecting Chembio Diagnostics to pay a dividend over the next 12 months. However, you can browse other dividend-paying shares in our guide.

Have Chembio Diagnostics's shares ever split?

Chembio Diagnostics's shares were split on a 1:8 basis on 29 May 2012. So if you had owned 8 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Chembio Diagnostics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 700% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Chembio Diagnostics shares which in turn could have impacted Chembio Diagnostics's share price.

Share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Chembio Diagnostics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.01 up to $15.89. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

CEMI.US volatility(beta: 1.83)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Chembio Diagnostics's is 1.8312. This would suggest that Chembio Diagnostics's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
