MKSインスツルメンツ（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKSI#NYSE">MKSI</a>）のフロート比率ショート売り残高は、前回の報告から5.59％減少しました。同社は最近、取引が可能な全普通株式の5.91％にあたる307万株の空売り残高を報告しています。流通株数に基づくと、これによりトレーダーが平均してショートポジションをカバーするのに3.76日かかることが示唆されました。 (約X円)
<h3>なぜショートの興味が重要なのか</h3>
ショートの興味とは、空売りが行われたがまだカバーされていない、すなわち決済されていない株式の数です。 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">ショート売り</a>とは、トレーダーが同社の株式を持たないで売却することで、その価格が下がることを期待して行います。株価が下がればトレーダーは利益を上げ、上がれば損失を被ります。
ショートの興味を追跡することは重要であり、なぜならそれは特定の株式に対する市場のセンチメントの指標として機能するからです。ショートの興味の増加は、投資家がもっとベアリッシュになったことを示唆する可能性があります。一方、ショートの興味の減少は、投資家がもっとブルリッシュになったことを示す可能性があります。

<h3>MKS Instrumentsのショートの興味と競合他社との比較</h3>
同業他社との比較は、アナリストや投資家の間でよく使われる技術です。企業のピアとは、業界、規模、年齢、財務構造など、それに似た特性を持つもう1社の企業のことです。あなたは会社のピアグループを、10-K、プロキシファイリングを読むか、または独自の類似性分析を行うことで見つけることができます。
<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>によると、MKS Instrumentsのショートの興味はフロート比率の6.80％で、これは会社が競合他社の多くよりも少ないことを意味しています。
僕たちがもう、空売りの興味が実際には株式にとってブルリッシュなことを知っていましたか？ <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">Benzinga Moneyによるこの記事で、それがどのように利益を生むかを説明します。</a>
