That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Gaming and Leisure Properties's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.08. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Gaming and Leisure Properties'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 3.4 million Gaming and Leisure Properties shares held short by investors – that's known as Gaming and Leisure Properties's "short interest". This figure is 9.2% up from 3.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Gaming and Leisure Properties shares can be evaluated.
Gaming and Leisure Properties's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Gaming and Leisure Properties shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Gaming and Leisure Properties shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). Gaming and Leisure Properties's SIR currently stands at 2.87. In other words for every 100,000 Gaming and Leisure Properties shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2870 shares are currently held short.
However Gaming and Leisure Properties's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Gaming and Leisure Properties shares, or, against the total number of tradable Gaming and Leisure Properties shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Gaming and Leisure Properties's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Gaming and Leisure Properties shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0179% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Gaming and Leisure Properties shares, roughly 18 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 Gaming and Leisure Properties.

Recently Gaming and Leisure Properties has paid out, on average, around 77.69% of net profits as dividends.

Gaming and Leisure Properties's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Gaming and Leisure Properties's is 1.0556. This would suggest that Gaming and Leisure Properties's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
