The submission will be based on results of three clinical efficacy studies that evaluated ARAKODA&#xAE; (<strong>tafenoquine</strong>) for canine babesiosis, and existing canine safety data and chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC) data for <strong>tafenoquine</strong> generated through the clinical development of ARAKODA for malaria.</p>
<p>The clinical efficacy studies involved experimental <i>Babesia</i> infections and dogs diagnosed with naturally acquired <i>Babesia</i> infection in veterinary clinics. One of the studies was company-sponsored and conducted at North Carolina State University. Collectively, the studies showed that <strong>tafenoquine</strong>, administered as ARAKODA tablets, was well tolerated and appeared to facilitate recovery from acute infection.</p>
<p>Every year in the United States, several hundred to several thousand cases of canine babesiosis are seen. It is an emerging tick-borne illness carried by the same tick vector as Lyme Disease. No FDA-approved oral treatment for canine babesiosis exists, and currently available treatments carry significant toxicity risk or the propensity to generate drug resistance.</p>

The company recently reported that it has <strong>4.25 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 2.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 2.38 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

What Does the Market Think About Qualys?

<p>Looking into the current session, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)</strong> shares are trading at $146.45, after a <strong>0.02%</strong> increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock increased by <strong>15.06%</strong>, but in the past year, fell by <strong>17.63%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752523225_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>Comparing Advanced Micro Devices P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>71.4</strong> in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of <strong>106.88</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Advanced Micro Devices Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752523225_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
