sarath Higher growth means higher "g" so lower denominator and higher P/E ratio.
francesca higher expected growth opportunities doesn't imply a higher retention rate also? therefore a lower numerator?
mrushdi Higher the growth rate, people are willing to pay more for a $1 of EPS.
thekobe higher retention rate, so a lower dividend rate
khalifa92 anything deducted; growth and payout ratio, from the denominator, increases P/E.
