What does this mean? Question about financial lingo..?

They are talking about the price to earnings ratio. They are expected to make $2.84 for fiscal 2014. Divide the price by that. Its about 19.

"Williams-Sonoma shares trade at 18.5 times 2014 earnings, near a three-year high."

If they trade at 19 x their earnings, would that be billions of dollars??? They trade at like 54 bucks..
