The PE ratio compares a company's stock price to its earnings per share. It indicates how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings — a key valuation metric.
PE Ratio = Stock Price / Earnings Per Share (EPS)
If a stock trades at $150 with EPS of $10, the PE ratio is 15x. This means investors pay $15 for every $1 of earnings. The S&P 500 average PE is approximately 18-22x.

Low PE in cyclical industries (airlines, oil, mining) often means peak earnings, not a bargain. When the cycle turns, earnings collapse and that "cheap" 8x PE becomes a 40x overnight.
Negative earnings make PE meaningless. When EPS is negative, there is no PE ratio — use Price-to-Sales or Price-to-Book instead.
PE ignores debt. Two companies with identical PE ratios can have vastly different risk profiles if one carries 5x more debt. Check Enterprise Value/EBITDA for a leverage-adjusted view.
S&P 500 average PE: ~21x. Tech: 25-40x, Utilities: 12-16x, Banks: 8-14x. Always compare within the same sector.

It depends on the sector and growth rate. The S&P 500 average is 18-22x. Tech companies often trade at 25-40x, while utilities may be 12-16x. Always compare PE within the same industry.
A company with negative earnings (losses) has no meaningful PE ratio. In these cases, use Price-to-Sales or Price-to-Book for valuation.
