The three common financial ratios used to assess a company's valuation: the Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E), the Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B), and the Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S).
The P/E ratio, which is 39x in this case, measures the market value of a company's stock relative to its earnings per share. A higher P/E ratio suggests that investors are willing to pay a premium for the company's future earnings potential.
The P/B ratio, at 11x, compares the market value of a company's stock to its book value per share (assets minus liabilities). A higher P/B ratio indicates that the market values the company's intangible assets (like brand value, intellectual property) more than its tangible assets.
The P/S ratio, which is 8x, evaluates the market value of a company's stock relative to its annual revenue. A higher P/S ratio might suggest that investors expect strong future revenue growth or are willing to pay a premium for the company's market share.
