Definition
The Price-to-Earnings ratio measures how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of a company's earnings. A high P/E ratio might indicate that investors expect high growth in the future, while a low P/E might suggest the stock is undervalued or the company faces challenges.
Formula
市盈率 = 股价 / 每股收益(EPS)
Example
If a stock is trading at $100 and its earnings per share is $5, the P/E ratio would be 20 ($100 / $5). This means investors are paying $20 for every $1 of earnings.
