Linear Technology Stock Sees Short Interest Decline 13.3%

August 11, 2016   |   August 2016 Bond Updates
The most recent short interest data has been released for the 07/29/2016 settlement date, which shows a 1,386,620 share decrease in total short interest for Linear Technology Corp (NASD: LLTC), to 9,056,697, a decrease of 13.28% since 07/15/2016. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for LLTC at the 07/29/2016 settlement increased to 5,236,659, as compared to 1,836,544 at the 07/15/2016 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 1.73, a 69.59% decrease from the 5.69 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.
