Evaluating PE RatiosEvaluating PE Ratios
sp0om said: "Over winter break, I began to learn the basics of PE ratios. My understanding is limited and I was hoping to learn more from the more seasoned investors here. What I've got in my little ole' brain right now is that anything around 10 is healthy, 20's are a bit of a stretch, and 30+ is fairly high. Now, seeing PE ratios over 100 makes me feel that my current understanding is not right or incomplete. I've been adjusting my perception of a healthy PE ratio by looking into rough industry PE ratio averages. Any other tips on looking at PE ratios?"

There's another key factor. It depends on how fast the company generally grows earnings. That's why a factor called PEG Price/Earnings Growth is important.
If earnings grow very fast, people will place a premium on the P/E. That's why if you look at traditional fast-growers like CHS and COH, they have 30 and over P/E ratios."
