Expert Solution
Step 1

The price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) is the ratio that measures the current share price of the company relative to the earning per share of the company.

A higher P/E ratio indicates that a company's stock is over-valued, or the investors are expecting high growth rates in the future.
