Re: [sharechat] P/E Ratios

Simple question. Assume interims have been reported. Which is more accurate

A. PE for last full year or

B. PE for the last reported year i.e.H1 + H2 (being full year less previous H1)

C. PE for H1 projected for full year.

Sorry not so simple answer.

Next question is: Who (important) is doing what (important) with which (important also) and how well are they doing it?

Message: Ignore PE. It is a one dimensional measure and exists only as a point in time.

Use the PEG which links to the PE growth. Then prospective PE is linked in to the equation which is much the more important figure.
