What is PE Ratio?
PE Ratio is considered a valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its earnings per share (EPS).
It is calculated as:
PE Ratio = Market Value per Share / Earnings Per Share (EPS)
For example, if a company is currently trading at $40 a share and earnings over the last 12 months were $1.25 per share, the P/E ratio for the stock would be 32.00 ($40/$1.25).
In general, a high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the future compared to companies with a lower P/E. However, the P/E ratio doesn't tell us the whole story by itself. It's usually more useful to compare the P/E ratios of one company to other companies in the same industry.
