PE Ratio Definition: The PE ratio (i.e. price to earnings ratio) is simply the stock price divided by the earnings-per-share (EPS). Most often, the PE ratio formula is calculated using earnings that have already been reported over the past 12 months resulting in what is referred to as the trailing PE ratio. Another method used to calculate the PE ratio is to use estimated earnings for the next 12 months which results in what is referred to as the forward PE ratio. For example, if Alphabet (GOOGL) earned $49.53 per share over the past 12 months and the current stock price was $1179.21, the resulting PE ratio would be 23.8 ($1179.21 divided by $49.53). The PE ratio is also sometimes referred to as the earnings multiple or price multiple. Generally speaking, the PE ratio is used as a valuation measure with a stock having a high PE ratio relative to its peers being overvalued and a stock having a low PE ratio relative to its peers being considered undervalued.
