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.

There are currently 2.0 million Arcos Dorados shares held short by investors – that's known as Arcos Dorados's "short interest". This figure is 87.7% up from 1.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Arcos Dorados shares can be evaluated.
Arcos Dorados's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Arcos Dorados shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Arcos Dorados shares traded daily (recently around 1.1 million). Arcos Dorados's SIR currently stands at 1.87. In other words for every 100,000 Arcos Dorados shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1870 shares are currently held short.
However Arcos Dorados's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Arcos Dorados shares, or, against the total number of tradable Arcos Dorados shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Arcos Dorados's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Arcos Dorados shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.017% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Arcos Dorados shares, roughly 17 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 Arcos Dorados.
