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.

Shorting Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares can be evaluated.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Supernus Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 14.56. In other words for every 100,000 Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 14560 shares are currently held short.

However Supernus Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Supernus Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1474% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Supernus Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 147 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 Supernus Pharmaceuticals.
