SOURCE DATA
Market Capitalization
It is used by the investment community in ranking the size of companies, as opposed to sales or total asset figures.
EPS
Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of a company’s profit that is allocated to each outstanding share of common stock, serving as an indicator of the company’s profitability.
Return On Equity (ROE)
The higher the ratio percentage, the more efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the better return is to investors.
Price/Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The smaller the ratio (roughly less than 15) is thought to be a better investment since the investor is paying less per amount of earnings. More than 30 is considered overvalued.
Price/Book (P/B) Ratio
The smaller the ratio (roughly less than 1.0) is thought to be a better investment since the investor is paying less for what would be left if the company went bankrupt immediately. More than 2 is considered overvalued.
Price/Sales (P/S) Ratio
The smaller the ratio (roughly less than 1.0) is thought to be a better investment since the investor is paying less for each unit of sales. More than 2 is considered overvalued.
Debt/Equity (D/E) Ratio
If the cost of debt becomes too much for the company to handle, it can even lead to bankruptcy, which would leave shareholders with nothing. Thus, the smaller the ratio (roughly less than 1.0) the better.
