TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 2.7 million Alaska Air Group shares held short by investors – that's known as Alaska Air Group's "short interest". This figure is 11.2% up from 2.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Alaska Air Group shares can be evaluated.
Alaska Air Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Alaska Air Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Alaska Air Group shares traded daily (recently around 1.7 million). Alaska Air Group's SIR currently stands at 1.59. In other words for every 100,000 Alaska Air Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1590 shares are currently held short.
However Alaska Air Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Alaska Air Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable Alaska Air Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Alaska Air Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Alaska Air Group shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0216% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Alaska Air Group shares, roughly 22 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 Alaska Air Group.

We're not expecting Alaska Air Group to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Alaska Air Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 9 July 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alaska Air Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alaska Air Group shares which in turn could have impacted Alaska Air Group's share price.
