That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 30.3 million Americold Realty Trust shares held short by investors – that's known as Americold Realty Trust's "short interest". This figure is 15.6% up from 26.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Americold Realty Trust shares can be evaluated.
Americold Realty Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Americold Realty Trust shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Americold Realty Trust shares traded daily (recently around 2.0 million). Americold Realty Trust's SIR currently stands at 15.19. In other words for every 100,000 Americold Realty Trust shares traded daily on the market, roughly 15190 shares are currently held short.
However Americold Realty Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Americold Realty Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable Americold Realty Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Americold Realty Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0.15% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Americold Realty Trust shares in existence, roughly 150 shares are currently held short) or 0.1712% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Americold Realty Trust shares, roughly 171 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 Americold Realty Trust.
