The P/E ratio, also known as the price-to-earnings ratio, is a valuation metric used to assess a company’s relative value by comparing its current share price to its earnings per share (EPS). It is calculated by dividing the market price per share by the EPS of the company. The P/E ratio provides insights into how much investors are willing to pay for each unit of earnings generated by the company. It is commonly used as a tool to evaluate if a company is overvalued or undervalued compared to its earnings potential and serves as a gauge of market sentiment towards the stock.
