Price Earnings Ratio

·         Price Earnings ratio is the ratio of company's current share price to its earnings per share. It gives us an idea of what the market is willing to pay for company's earnings. It also indicates how the stock is valued in the market.

How to interpret PE

Generally a high PE ratio suggests that market participants are bullish on the stock and expect the company to post higher earnings growth going forward. However, it can also be interpreted as an overpriced stock in some cases.

Generally a low PE ratio can either be interpreted as an undervalued stock or market participants are not too bullish on the company's future earnings growth.

The above may not always hold true as the PE ratio varies from industry to industry. Traditionally there are certain sectors like diamonds, fertilizers or sectors that are very cyclical that command a low PE ratio. There are certain sectors like FMCG, Pharma, IT that normally have a higher PE. So the PE ratio of a company should either be compared with its peers having parallel business activity and of similar size or with its historical PE to evaluate whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued.

Formula

PE ratio = Stock Price Earnings per share

Example

Current market Price Rs 100 EPS Rs 10 P/E: 10 (100/10)
