Shorting Tilray shares

There are currently 30.8 million Tilray shares held short by investors – that's known as Tilray's "short interest". This figure is 10.5% down from 34.4 million last month.

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

Tilray's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Tilray's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tilray shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tilray shares traded daily (recently around 34.6 million). Tilray's SIR currently stands at 0.89. In other words for every 100,000 Tilray shares traded daily on the market, roughly 890 shares are currently held short.

However Tilray's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tilray shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tilray shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tilray's short interest could be expressed as 0.19% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tilray shares in existence, roughly 190 shares are currently held short) or 0.2045% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tilray shares, roughly 205 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 Tilray.

Tilray share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Tilray's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$2.43 up to US$55.01. 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 Tilray's is 2.8296. This would suggest that Tilray's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
