Understanding different scenarios:
Use the PE ratio and ROE together. The PE ratio helps determine if a stock is overvalued, while ROE helps assess the quality of earnings and operational efficiency.Â
- High PE, High ROE: The stock may be expensive, but the strong profitability could justify the higher price.
- High PE, Low ROE: This combination is a warning sign, suggesting the stock may be overvalued and is not an ideal investment.
- Low PE, Low ROE: This could indicate a company is undervalued, but also potentially in decline. Further investigation is needed to understand why the ROE is low.
