Sharpen Your Investing Skills: Understanding the P/E Ratio (Price-to-Earnings Ratio)
What Is the P/E Ratio?

Share Price: The current market price of one share of the company.
EPS: Earnings Per Share = Net Income ÷ Number of Outstanding Shares.
How Investors Use It:
- Compare to industry peers: Is the company cheaper or more expensive than others in the same sector?
- Growth vs. Value: High P/E often means growth stock; low P/E can mean value stock.
- Forward P/E: Uses projected future earnings, not past.
Example:
Company A's stock price = $100
EPS = $5
P/E = 100 / 5 = 20
This means investors are paying $20 for every $1 the company earns.

This week’s headlines are a reminder that no market moves in isolation. From global tariffs to central bank signals, every ripple can have far-reaching effects. In times like these, staying informed isn’t just smart—it’s essential. Keep your strategy flexible, your perspective long-term, and don’t forget to keep learning along the way.
