Answer:
The two common stock ratios are the price–earning (PE) ratio and the earnings per share (EPS) ratio. The latter ratio is used to calculate the PE ratio by dividing the price of equity shares by it.
Explanation:
The Price-earnings ratio measures investors' assessments of an entity's future earnings. It is determined by obtaining the share price of the company's stock and dividing it by the EPS. It is expressed in number of times of the EPS that investors are willing to pay for a share in the company's equity. The earnings per share (EPS) indicates the profit or income which a company generates for each share. It is determined by dividing a company's net profit by the number of outstanding common shares. It is widely used to estimate corporate value.
