There are currently 57.7 million Palantir shares held short by investors – that's known as the "short interest". This figure is 2.3% up from 56.4 million last month.

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

Short interest ratio (SIR)

Palantir's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Palantir shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Palantir shares traded daily (recently around 78.0 million). Palantir's SIR currently stands at 0.74. In other words for every 100,000 Palantir shares traded daily on the market, roughly 740 shares are currently held short.

However Palantir's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Palantir shares, or, against the total number of tradable Palantir shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Palantir's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Palantir shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0331% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Palantir shares, roughly 33 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 Palantir.
