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.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Daqo New Energy's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 6.9 million Daqo New Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as Daqo New Energy's "short interest". This figure is 4.9% up from 6.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Daqo New Energy shares can be evaluated.
Daqo New Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Daqo New Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Daqo New Energy shares traded daily (recently around 2.0 million). Daqo New Energy's SIR currently stands at 3.44. In other words for every 100,000 Daqo New Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3440 shares are currently held short.
However Daqo New Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Daqo New Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable Daqo New Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Daqo New Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Daqo New Energy shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Daqo New Energy shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
