  • Lower PE ratio is better than higher PE ratio for selection of stock because low PE mean high earning per share and high PE mean low earning per share. And we need high earning per share.

  • Low EPS (earning per share)
  • Market value of share is too high comparing to its intrinsic value. It means, sharp decline may occur in near future because high price will not sustain for long duration.
    Mean:- Overvalued stock.

Reasons of low PE ratio:-

  • Market value of share is too low comparing to its intrinsic value. It means, upward trend may occur in near future, when market recognize share’s real value.
    Mean:- Undervalued stock.

  • Only on the basis of low PE ratio never invest in any company, what is reason behind it always check. Use it with other ratios like debt to equity, EV/EBITDA etc.
