P/E Ratio (Price-to-Earnings)

P/E ratio compares a company’s share price to its earnings per share.

Explanation

A higher P/E can reflect growth expectations, while a lower P/E may indicate lower expectations or potential undervaluation. It should be read in sector context.

Example

If a stock trades at 30 and earns 2 per share, its P/E is 15.
