PB is price divided by book value per share. ROE and ROCE measure profit on capital. No ratio is good or bad on its own.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">A PE ratio is one that is reasonable for the company&#8217;s growth, quality and sector, not a fixed number. The PE ratio divides the share price by earnings per share, so it shows how much you pay for each rupee of profit. Compare it with the sector average and the company&#8217;s own history, and read it alongside PB, ROE and ROCE before you decide whether a stock is fairly priced.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What is a good PE ratio is the first question most investors ask when they open a stock page, and the honest answer is that there is no universal number. A PE of 15 can be expensive for one business and attractive for another.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains PE, PB, ROE and ROCE in simple terms, shows how to use them together, and lists the traps that make a low or high ratio misleading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The price to earnings ratio is the share price divided by earnings per share. If a share trades at Rs 200 and earns Rs 10 per share over the last year, the PE ratio is 20. You are paying Rs 20 for every Rs 1 of annual profit.<\/p>\n<p>A P\/E ratio is one that fits the business. Fast-growing, high-quality companies tend to trade at higher multiples, because investors expect profits to rise. Slow or cyclical businesses usually trade at lower multiples. The question is not whether a PE ratio is high or low, but whether it is fair for the growth on offer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Judge_a_Good_PE_Multiple\"><\/span><strong>How to Judge a Good PE Multiple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Compare with the industry PE, so that you compare like with like.<\/li>\n<li>Compare with the company&#8217;s own five-year or ten-year average.<\/li>\n<li>Check EPS growth. A higher PE can be justified by faster growth.<\/li>\n<li>Use the benchmark as a reference. The exchange publishes the PE of the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-50\/nifty-50-share-price-today\">Nifty 50<\/a> each day, which helps you see how the market as a whole is priced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PB_Ratio_Price_Against_Book_Value\"><\/span><strong>PB Ratio: Price Against Book Value<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The PB ratio is the share price divided by book value per share, where book value is assets minus liabilities divided by shares. It is most useful for banks, financial companies and asset-heavy businesses, whose value is closely tied to the balance sheet. A PB below 1 means the market values the company below its accounting net worth, which may signal a bargain or a problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ROE_and_ROCE_How_Well_Capital_Is_Used\"><\/span><strong>ROE and ROCE: How Well Capital Is Used<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Use the Univest Screener to check live fundamentals before you act on any idea.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Return on equity, or ROE, is net profit divided by shareholders&#8217; equity.

A PE ratio is one that is reasonable for the company&#8217;s growth, quality and sector.
