1⃣

Price to Earnings (#PE) ratio, also known as price multiple or earnings multiple is the ratio obtained by dividing the current share price by earnings per share (#EPS).

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
2⃣

P/E ratio is a reflection of the market's opinion of the earnings capacity & future business prospects of a company.

Companies which enjoy high investor confidence & have a higher market standing usually command high P/E ratio.

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
3⃣

On the face, it would seem that companies with low P/E ratios would offer most attractive investment opportunities. This is not always true.

Companies with high current earnings but dim future prospects often have low P/E ratio.

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
4⃣

As an #investor your primary concern is with future prospects of a company & not so much with its present performance.

This is why companies with low current earnings but bright future prospects usually command high P/E ratio.

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
5⃣

Better to invest in a stock with P/E ratio of 30 having good future growth prospects rather than investing in a stock having low P/E ratio of 5 or 6 but has an uncertain or bleak future growth prospects.

But at the same time never buy companies with too high valuations.
6⃣

Hence its always advisable to judge #PE ratio in conjunction with prospects of future earnings & growth of the company. This can be done using P/E ratio in conjunction with #PEG ratio.

7⃣

Price/Earnings to Growth (#PEG) ratio is calculated dividing company’s P/E ratio by growth rate of its earnings for a specified time period.

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
8⃣

PEG ratio gives a better picture about valuation of a company as compared to P/E ratio since it takes into consideration the company's earnings growth.

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
9⃣

In case of companies having high growth rates, their P/E ratio might be high & in such cases using just P/E ratio these high-growth companies would appear overvalued relative to others & in such cases better to use PEG ratio to get clear picture about company’s valuation.
🔟

#investor can use PEG ratio to know if a stock is overvalued or undervalued.

✅PEG ratio greater than 1 means stock is relatively expensive.

✅PEG ratio lower than 1 means stock is below its fair value.

✅PEG ratio will be negative when there is de-growth in earnings.
1⃣1⃣

Theory of #PEG Ratio gained it’s popularity when #PeterLynch started using it as one of his valuation metrics.

Peter Lynch would always prefer to invest in stocks whose PEG Ratio was less than 1.20.

#StockMarket #Investing #FundamentalAnalysis
1⃣2⃣

#PEG ratio actually factors-in both price valuation & stock’s future growth prospects.

If handled correctly, PEG can prove to be a reliable intrinsic value pointer.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
