P/E Ratio
Fundamental Analysis
Was es bedeutet
Price-to-Earnings Ratio: a number that shows how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of a company's earnings. It helps you compare whether a stock is expensive or cheap relative to its profits.
Beispiel
A company with a stock price of $150 and annual EPS of $10 has a P/E ratio of 15. If similar companies in its industry have an average P/E of 20, the stock may be undervalued compared to peers.
Der häufigste Anfängerfehler
Beginners compare P/E ratios across different industries. A utility company with a P/E of 12 and a tech company with a P/E of 30 are not directly comparable — industries have different typical growth rates and P/E ranges.
