10. Price to Earnings
The price-earnings ratio (P/E Ratio) is the ratio for
valuing a company that measures its
current share price relative to its per-share earnings.
The price-earnings ratio can be calculated as:
Market Value per Share / Earnings per Share
For example, suppose that a company is currently
trading at $43 a share and its earnings over the last 12
months were $1.95 per share. The P/E ratio for the
stock could then be calculated as 43/1.95, or 22.05.
11. Earnings per share
Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of a company's
profit allocated to each outstanding share of common
stock. Earnings per share serves as an indicator of a
company's profitability.
Net Income / Shares of Stock
12. Debt to Equity
The D/E ratio indicates how much debt a company
is using to finance its assets relative to the amount
of value represented shareholders’ equity.
Debt /Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities/Shareholders' Equity
13. Return on Equity
Return on equity (ROE) is the amount of net
income returned as a percentage
of shareholders equity.
Return on equity measures a corporation's
profitability by revealing how much profit a
company generates with the money shareholders
have invested.
Return on Equity = Net Income/Shareholder's Equity
