English term

price to earnings ratio

GBK English to Finnish 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)

voittokerroin

Vähän tilanteesta ja näkökulmasta riippuen voi miettiä, onko p/e-luku vai voittokerroin soveltuvampi termi.
Definition from Pörssisäätiö:
P/E-luku eli voittokerroin<br /><br />Tunnusluku, joka ilmaisee osakkeen hinnan ja yhtä osaketta kohden lasketun voiton suhteen. Se kertoo monenko vuoden voitoilla pystyisi maksaman osakkeen hinnan.
Example sentences:
Eurooppalaisten öljy- ja kaasualan osakkeiden keskimääräinen p/e-luku eli voittokerroin on 12. Nämä osakkeet ovat halvempia kuin eurooppalaiset osakkeet keskimäärin, joiden p/e-luku on 13,5. (Taloussanomat)
