What are the types of market value ratios? Explain with formula and example?

 

Market value ratios, also known as valuation ratios, are used to assess the value of a company's stock compared to its financial performance. Some common market value ratios include:

Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 

It measures the price of a stock relative to its earnings per share. The formula is: 

P/E Ratio = Market Price per Share/Earnings per Share (EPS)

Example: If a stock has a market price of $50 and an EPS of $5, the P/E ratio is 10.

Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio: 

It measures the market value of a company's stock relative to its book value. The formula is: 

P/B Ratio = Market Price per Share/Book Value per Share

Example: If a stock has a market price of $40 and a book value per share of $10, the P/B ratio is 4.

Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio: 

It measures the market value of a company's stock relative to its revenue. The formula is: 

P/S Ratio = Market Price per Share/Revenue per Share

Example: If a stock has a market price of $60 and revenue per share of $12, the P/S ratio is 5.

Dividend Yield: 

It measures the amount of annual dividend income received in relation to the stock price. The formula is: 

Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend per Share/Market Price per Share

Example: If a stock has an annual dividend per share of $2 and a market price of $50, the Dividend Yield is 4%.
