Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio

The price-to-earnings ratio divides a company’s share price by its earnings per share, showing how many pounds investors pay for each pound of annual profit. It is one of the most widely used valuation multiples for comparing listed companies within the same sector. A trailing P/E uses reported earnings, while a forward P/E uses forecast earnings.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Earnings per share is a company’s net profit attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares. It expresses how much profit the company generated for each share during a period. EPS is the denominator of the P/E ratio and a core input in equity valuation.

Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio

The price-to-book ratio compares a company’s share price with its book value per share, which is shareholders’ equity divided by the number of shares. A ratio of 1 means the stock trades at exactly its accounting net worth. The multiple is used widely for valuing banks and other asset-heavy businesses on the EGX.
