About PE Ratio (TTM)

Price to Earnings Ratio or P/E is price x earnings. It is the most commonly used metric for determining a company's value relative to its earnings. In this example, we are using the actual earnings (EPS) for the trailing twelve months (or TTM). A stock with a P/E ratio of 20, for example, is said to be trading at 20 times its trailing twelve months earnings. In general, a lower number or multiple is usually considered better than a higher one.
