Price-Earnings Ratio - P/E Ratio

A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings.

Calculated as:

p/e = Market value per share/earnings per share

P/E is a company's stock price divided by its earnings, or more intuitively, how much you have to pay for a single dollar of the compay's earnings. The dividend yield is the annual dividend divided by the stock price.
