About Earnings Yield (TTM)

The company's trailing twelve month (TTM) Earning Yield is used to determine whether the company is undervalued or overvalued. The Earning yield an indicator of the company's earnings and the price paid for the stock. The calculation is the inverse of the P/E ratio. The most common use of the Earnings ratio is to compare it to other stocks and to compare the yields to the 10 Year T-Bill. If earnings go up, the yield goes up. If earnings go down, so does the yield. For example: If the yield on the S&P 500 is greater than the 10 Year T-Bill, stocks would be considered undervalued.
