How the stock market works - book review
This book is not definitely for North American readers. I started to read this book when I figured out this book is talking about FTSE100 instead of NASDAQ or something like that. It is talking all terms in UK. For example, it is talking about Glits. From investopedia:
"Index-linked gilts, which represent a substantial proportion of all U.K. gilts, are indexed to inflation, similar to Treasury Inflation Protected Securities in the United States." I am not sure why one wants to read these materials but to me it should say on the book title, or the introduction that it is written for certain people.
Price-Earnings Ratio - P/E Ratio
Sample use (from Globe&Mail):
The decline in Zynga’s price now makes it one of the cheapest social-media stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings ratio dipped below 20 Tuesday, per Standard & Poor’s CapitalIQ.
Definition (from Investopedia):
A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings.
Calculated as:
Market Value per Share
Earnings per Share (EPS)
For example, if a company is currently trading at $43 a share and earnings over the last 12 months were $1.95 per share, the P/E ratio for the stock would be 22.05 ($43/$1.95).
EPS is usually from the last four quarters (trailing P/E), but sometimes it can be taken from the estimates of earnings expected in the next four quarters (projected or forward P/E). A third variation uses the sum of the last two actual quarters and the estimates of the next two quarters.
Also sometimes known as "price multiple" or "earnings multiple".
Definition (from Wikipedia):
In stock trading, the P/E ratio (price-to-earnings ratio) of a stock (also called its "P/E", or simply "multiple") is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual Earnings per Share (EPS).[2].
Unlike the EV/EBITDA multiple which is capital structure-neutral, the price-to-earnings ratio reflects the capital structure of the company in question. The price-to-earnings ratio is a financial ratio used for valuation: a higher P/E ratio means that investors are paying more for each unit of net income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with a lower P/E ratio. The P/E ratio can be seen as being expressed in years, [note 1] in the sense that it shows the number of years of earnings which would be required to pay back purchase price, ignoring inflation and time value of money. The P/E ratio also shows current investor demand for a company share. The reciprocal of the P/E ratio is known as the earnings yield.[3] The earnings yield is an estimate of the expected return from holding the stock if we accept certain restrictive assumptions (a discussion of these assumptions can be found here).
