Valuation

P/E Price-to-earnings ratio: how many years of profit does the stock cost? The lower, the cheaper the valuation. No earnings means no P/E.

23.5

Forward P/E P/E based on expected earnings for the next 12 months instead of past earnings — analysts' bet on the future.

22.6

PEG P/E divided by expected earnings growth: puts valuation in relation to growth. Around 1 is considered fair, well above that is pricey.

2.7

P/B Price-to-book ratio: market value relative to book equity.

2.4

P/S Price-to-sales ratio: market value divided by annual sales. Important for companies that aren't (yet) profitable.

4.8

EV/EBITDA Enterprise value including debt (EV) relative to operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) — more comparable than P/E because debt counts too. Extreme values arise when EBITDA is near zero.

14.3

Price/FCF Market value divided by free cash flow: how many years of freely available cash does the stock cost? More honest than P/E because cash flow is harder to dress up.

1.6
