BREAKING DOWN Forward Price To Earnings - Forward P/E
There are two primary methods for valuing stocks: with earnings or with cash flow. Cash flows are generally discounted back to a present value, while earnings are measured in terms of relative price. The most popular earnings valuation metric is the P/E ratio, which is calculated using the current stock price and historical earnings data. Forward P/E is calculated using earnings estimates rather than actual earnings.
