Shorting Bilibili shares

There are currently 22.1 million Bilibili shares held short by investors – that's known as Bilibili's "short interest". This figure is 6.5% down from 23.7 million last month.

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

Bilibili's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Bilibili's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Bilibili shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Bilibili shares traded daily (recently around 6.7 million). Bilibili's SIR currently stands at 3.32. In other words for every 100,000 Bilibili shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3320 shares are currently held short.

However Bilibili's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Bilibili shares, or, against the total number of tradable Bilibili shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Bilibili's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Bilibili shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Bilibili shares, roughly 0 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 Bilibili.

Bilibili share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Bilibili's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$19.25 up to US$157.66. 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 Bilibili's is 1.346. This would suggest that Bilibili's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
