Essential Valuation Ratios

  • P/E shows what you pay per dollar of earnings
  • Compare to industry, not absolute values
  • Forward P/E uses future expectations

Growth-Adjusted Valuation

  • PEG adjusts P/E for growth rate
  • PEG < 1.0 often signals undervaluation
  • Only works for profitable, growing companies

Enterprise Value Multiples

  • EV includes debt and cash
  • EV/EBITDA better for comparing companies with different debt
  • Professionals prefer EV/EBITDA for M&A analysis

Price-to-Book & Price-to-Sales

  • P/B important for asset-heavy industries
  • P/S used when companies aren't profitable
  • Different industries use different primary ratios
