Some quote PE in terms of trailing earnings; some quote PE in terms of forecasted earnings. The three-digit PE is probably trailing earnings. The two-digit PE is probably forecast earnings.

With the stock starting from a small base, its earnings going forward can be anything from negative to blowout huge. So no matter how rosy the company's prospects are, buying in is always, uh, based somewhat on a wing and a prayer. But it might just be a prayer answered.
