Understanding Valuation Ratios
Valuation ratios compare a company's stock price to fundamental measures like earnings, revenue, or book value. They help answer the core investment question: "Is this stock cheap or expensive relative to what the business actually produces?"
P/E Ratio (Price-to-Earnings)
The most widely used valuation metric. P/E tells you how much investors pay for each dollar of earnings. A P/E of 15 means the stock costs 15x its annual earnings. Lower P/E may indicate undervaluation, but could also reflect low growth expectations or declining business quality. The S&P 500 historically averages a P/E of 15-20. Only stocks with positive earnings are shown in this screener.
Forward P/E
Uses analyst estimates of future earnings instead of trailing 12-month earnings. If Forward P/E is lower than trailing P/E, analysts expect earnings to grow. A much higher Forward P/E could signal expected earnings decline. Comparing both gives you a quick view of growth expectations.
P/B Ratio (Price-to-Book)
Compares stock price to net asset value per share. A P/B below 1 means you can buy the company for less than its liquidation value — often a value signal in asset-heavy sectors like banking, insurance, and real estate. Technology companies typically have high P/B ratios because intellectual property isn't fully captured on the balance sheet.
P/S Ratio (Price-to-Sales)
Market cap divided by revenue. P/S is uniquely useful for unprofitable companies (where P/E doesn't work), making it popular for evaluating high-growth tech firms. A P/S below 1 means you're paying less than $1 for each dollar of revenue.
PEG Ratio
PEG adjusts P/E for growth — P/E divided by earnings growth rate. A PEG below 1 suggests the stock may be undervalued relative to its growth. Popularized by Peter Lynch, it's most useful for growth companies and less meaningful for mature businesses.
How to Use This Screener
No single ratio tells the full story. Compare ratios within the same sector for meaningful analysis. Use P/E for profitable companies, P/S for growth companies, and P/B for asset-heavy industries. Combine with the Piotroski F-Score or Magic Formula to find stocks that are both cheap and financially strong. Learn more in our financial glossary.
