Definition
Compares the market price with a concrete financial line item in the app or with an earnings, sales, cash-flow or book-value base. It does not say whether a company is good; it translates growth expectations, risk and profitability into a comparable number.
Uses
Useful for comparing similar businesses and spotting gaps between price, quality and growth. Weak for cyclicals away from mid-cycle, banks with operating multiples, early biotech and companies without normalized profits. Cross-check DCF, own history, peers, FCF yield, ROIC and debt.
