What you pay per dollar of earnings
The price-to-earnings ratio is the most quoted valuation measure in investing. It shows how many dollars you pay for each dollar of a company’s annual earnings.
A stock at 150 with earnings per share of 6 has a P/E of 25. Growth stocks command high ratios on the promise of future earnings; compare P/E ratios within the same industry to make sense of them.
