English term

price to earnings ratio

GBK English to Japanese Bus/Financial Investment / Securities
Definition from investing-school.com:
The price to earnings ratio (denoted P/E) measures the relationship between the share price to its earnings per share. It is considered one of the most important metric of a company because comparing two similar companies’ P/E shows us which is a better value.
Example sentences:
By analyzing the price-to-earnings ratio, investors can evaluate a company's shares within the context of actual income the company has generated over a certain period. (investment.suite101.com)
A measure of the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) using forecasted earnings for the P/E calculation. While the earnings used are just an estimate and are not as reliable as current earnings data, there is still benefit in estimated P/E analysis. (answers.com)
Graham sets the magic number of <15 as an ideal price to earnings ratio. I would argue that this number is a guide. Some sectors have ridiculously low P/E ratios, others have ridiculously high ratios. It is worthwhile to have a look at sector numbers before getting too excited about a company. (traderplanet.com)

株価収益率

The abbreviation PER is also used.
Definition from Nomura Securities:
株価と企業の収益力を比較することによって株式の投資価値を判断する際に利用される尺度である。株価が500円で、一株当たり利益が50円ならば、株価収益率は10倍である。<br /><br />一般的には、市場平均との比較や、その会社の過去のレンジとの比較で割高・割安を判断する場合が多い。どのくらいの株価収益率が適当かについての基準はなく、国際比較をする場合には、マクロ的な金利水準は基より、各国の税制、企業会計の慣行などを考慮する必要がある。
Example sentences:
株価収益率が高いほど、利益に比べ株価が割高であることを示し、逆に、株価収益率が低いほど、株価が相対的に低いことを示しし、 (Tokyo Stock Exchange)
