Creep What relevance does this have?!
johntan1979 I'm pretty sure you won't ask what relevance does this have during the actual exam.
farhan92 if an earnings report comes out websites are more likely to provide a P/E figure than the rest.

khalifa92 P/E ratio is mostly cited by media and analysts.
MathLoser Keep in mind that P/E stands alone mean nothing. You have to compare it with the industry's P/E and the rival companies'.
