What Are Days to Cover?
"Days to cover" measures the expected number of days to close out a company's outstanding shares that have been shorted. It measures a company's shares that are currently shorted and divides that by the average daily trading volume to give an approximation of the time required, expressed in days, to close out those short positions. It is related to the short ratio as a measure of short interest in a stock.
Days to cover can be useful to traders in the following ways:
It gives investors an idea of potential future buying pressure. In the event of a rally in the stock, short sellers must buy back shares on the open market to close out their positions. Understandably, they will seek to purchase the shares back for the lowest price possible, and this urgency to get out of their positions could translate into sharp moves higher. The longer the buyback process takes, as referenced by the days to cover metric, the longer the price rally may continue based solely on the need of short sellers to close their positions.
Additionally, a high days-to-cover ratio can often signal a potential short squeeze. This information can benefit a trader looking to make a quick profit by buying that company's shares ahead of the anticipated event actually coming to fruition.
