5 - The P/E Ratio Demystified
The most utilized metric to value a stock is the P/E ratio. In its simplest form, that is simply the price of the stock divided by the earnings-per-share. It is a valuable valuation metric, because in the long run a company’s stock price will correlate with its earnings. But the real question is what earnings metric is it based on? Moreover, the P/E ratio can be confusing because it will often be reported differently on different financial websites. The primary reason is because different websites produce P/E ratios utilizing different iterations of earnings.
