And there's something called the PE ratio or the price earnings ratio.
And it compares a company's share price to its earnings per share.
So earnings, profit, income, it all means the same thing.
And you can find this in a company's annual report.
So, you know, just how much profit it makes each year and you divide that by the number of shares.
So the PE ratio is basically looking at how much a company is worth or how much, you know, the share price relative to how much money it makes.
So when you look at a PE ratio, it's common for people, you know, to use the metric and say, okay, the PE ratio is high.
That means that a company is expensive.
And, you know, I say that in quotation marks, expensive, because often people
A high PE ratio implies that it's a growth company.
It's focused on growth.
Whereas something like say Woolies or Coles, they'll have a PE ratio.
That's much lower because it's more of a blue chip dividend play as opposed to a growth company.
I would say that it's not a hard and fast rule and it's important to compare apples to apples.
You know, if you're looking at a growth company, you want to compare the PE ratio to other similar growth companies and not, you know, comparing Afterpay to Woolworths, for example.
Yes.
So interestingly, Disney did not make a profit last year.
So that's where this metric falls down.
Without a profit, you can't get the PE ratio.
But what you can do is you can do a forward PE ratio.
