Word of the day
PE Ratio
The price-earnings ratio, also known as P/E ratio, P/E, or PER, is the ratio of a company’s share (stock) price to the company’s earnings per share. The ratio is used for valuing companies and to find out whether they are overvalued or undervalued.
For example, if share in xyz PLC is trading at £24 and the earnings per share for the last 12-month period is £3, then share xyz PLC has a P/E ratio of 24/3 or 8.
In other words, the buyer of the share is investing £8 for every one pound of earnings.
