Price Earnings Ratio
Definition of 'Price Earnings Ratio'
The market price of a share divided by its earnings (e.g. profits) gives the p/e ratio, which is the most commonly used measure of the value of a share.
Although this is used to show the value of a share, it is a subjective test, as, for example some investors would consider a PE ratio of 20 to be too high, and others might consider it to be just right.
