There are currently 15.5 million Fastly shares held short by investors – that's known as Fastly's "short interest". This figure is 21.1% down from 19.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Fastly shares can be evaluated.
Fastly's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Fastly's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Fastly shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Fastly shares traded daily (recently around 8.3 million). Fastly's SIR currently stands at 1.86. In other words for every 100,000 Fastly shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1860 shares are currently held short.
However Fastly's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Fastly shares, or, against the total number of tradable Fastly shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Fastly's short interest could be expressed as 0.14% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fastly shares in existence, roughly 140 shares are currently held short) or 0.1654% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fastly shares, roughly 165 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 Fastly.
