Shorting Fitbit shares
There are currently 45.1 million Fitbit shares held short by investors – that's known as Fitbit's "short interest". This figure is 12.7% down from 51.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Fitbit shares can be evaluated.
Fitbit's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Fitbit's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Fitbit shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Fitbit shares traded daily (recently around 4.2 million). Fitbit's SIR currently stands at 10.7. In other words for every 100,000 Fitbit shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10700 shares are currently held short.
However Fitbit's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Fitbit shares, or, against the total number of tradable Fitbit shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Fitbit's short interest could be expressed as 0.17% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fitbit shares in existence, roughly 170 shares are currently held short) or 0.1848% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fitbit shares, roughly 185 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Fitbit.

Fitbit share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fitbit's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$5.85 up to US$7.34. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Fitbit's is 0.6812. This would suggest that Fitbit's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
