Frequently asked questions

What does the P/E ratio tell me?

It shows how many dollars investors pay for each dollar of annual earnings. A P/E of 20 means the price is 20 times earnings per share.

Is a high P/E good or bad?

Neither on its own. A high P/E can signal strong growth expectations or an expensive stock, so compare it with peers and the company's own history.
