Valuation Basics: Using PE and Peer Context

Valuation is a measuring stick — not a buy/sell signal.

What PE tells you

  • Trailing PE — past earnings
  • Forward PE — forward EPS from analyst ratings when available
  • Always compare to peer medians, not absolute levels alone

Traps

  • PE meaningless for losses
  • One-offs distort EPS
  • Ignoring rates / style regimes
