Calculate the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and earnings yield of a stock from its share price and earnings per share.
P/E = Share price ÷ Earnings per share. Earnings yield = EPS ÷ Share price × 100.
The P/E ratio tells you how much investors pay for each unit of a company's annual profit. Compare it with the company's own history and with firms in the same industry.
Amounts are shown without a currency symbol, so the calculator works for any currency: enter all values in the same one.
There is no single number. Fast-growing companies trade on high P/E ratios and mature ones on lower ratios. Comparison within a sector is more useful than an absolute level.
Trailing P/E uses the last 12 months of reported earnings. Forward P/E uses analysts' forecasts, which may prove wrong. State which one you are using when comparing.
