Valuation Metrics
Cheap or Expensive?
Understand key valuation multiples - P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/B, P/S - and how to use them for quick stock comparisons.
"A low P/E might signal value - or a business in decline. Context and comparison are everything. Never look at a metric in isolation."
Valuation metrics are the language of stock comparison. P/E tells you what the market pays for earnings, EV/EBITDA captures value relative to cash flow, P/B measures price vs book value, and P/S compares to revenue.
No single metric tells the whole story. A low P/E might signal value - or a business in decline. A high EV/EBITDA might mean overvaluation - or high growth justifying a premium. Context and comparison are everything.
In this topic, you'll learn which metrics matter for different sectors, how to compare stocks using percentile rankings, and how to spot when a metric is misleading.

Common Pitfalls
Context matters - compare apples to apples (same sector, similar growth)
No single metric tells the whole story - triangulate across multiples
High multiples can be justified by high growth (and vice versa)
Percentile rankings show where a stock stands vs its universe
Valuation is relative - always compare to something
