Key Evaluation Ratios
Because companies differ in size and the number of shares they have issued, you might want to use ratios to compare the value of different stocks. Several key ratios can be derived from a company’s earnings reports—and you can easily find many of them using FINRA’s Market Data Center. Here are a few ratios commonly used to evaluate stocks:
1 Earnings per share (EPS): Calculated by dividing a company's total earnings by the number of shares, a company’s earnings per share allows you to compare the financial results of companies of different sizes. EPS is one indication of a company’s current financial strength.
2 Price-to-earnings ratio (P/E): Calculated by dividing the current price of a stock by its EPS, the P/E ratio is a commonly quoted measure of stock value. In a nutshell, P/E tells you how much investors are paying for a dollar of a company's earnings. For example, if Company A has a P/E of 25, and Company B has a P/E of 20, investors are paying more for each dollar earned by Company A than for each dollar earned by Company B.
3 Price-to-sales ratio (P/S): Calculated by dividing the market capitalization of a company by its revenue, the P/S ratio doesn’t factor in profit, which can be helpful when evaluating companies that haven’t yet made a profit.
4 Debt-to-equity ratio (D/E): Calculated by dividing a company’s total liabilities by total shareholder equity (total assets minus total liabilities), the D/E ratio allows investors to evaluate a company’s leverage and how much it is using debt to fund its operations.
