# Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio **Formula:** P/E Ratio = Stock Price per Share รท Earnings per Share (EPS) ## Why It Matters The P/E ratio indicates how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of a company's earnings, serving as a key valuation metric to determine if a stock is overvalued or undervalued relative to its peers or historical averages. A higher P/E suggests investors expect strong future growth, while a lower P/E may indicate undervaluation or concerns about the company's prospects. It enables quick comparisons across companies and industries to inform investment decisions.
