Genworth Financial's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Genworth Financial shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.
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.
Genworth Financial's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.72. 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 Genworth Financial's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Genworth Financial's SIR currently stands at 1.38. In other words for every 100,000 Genworth Financial shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1380 shares are currently held short.
However Genworth Financial's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Genworth Financial shares, or, against the total number of tradable Genworth Financial shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Genworth Financial's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Genworth Financial shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0272% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Genworth Financial shares, roughly 27 shares are currently held short).
