What is the P/E Ratio? 

The Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E Ratio) is a fundamental valuation metric that shows how much investors are willing to pay for every rupee of a company’s profit.

It is calculated by dividing a company’s current stock rice per share by its earnings per share (EPS). This ratio is a crucial tool used by investors to determine if a stock is overvalued or undervalued relative to its current profitability.

A high P/E ratio typically indicates that the market has high expectations for the company’s future growth or it is overvalued. Conversely, a low P/E ratio may suggest that the stock is undervalued, or that investors anticipate slower growth.

P/E Ratio is most effective when used to compare companies within the same sector, as the ratio can vary significantly across different sectors (e.g., tech, finance, utilities).
