Valuation ratio	Description	The company
P/E ratio	The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings.	Applied Materials Inc. P/E ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then increased from 2022 to 2023 not reaching 2021 level.
P/OP ratio	Because P/E ratio is calculated using net income, the ratio can be sensitive to nonrecurring earnings and capital structure, analysts may use price to operating profit.	Applied Materials Inc. P/OP ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then increased from 2022 to 2023 not reaching 2021 level.
P/S ratio	An rationale for the P/S ratio is that sales, as the top line in an income statement, are generally less subject to distortion or manipulation than other fundamentals such as EPS or book value. Sales are also more stable than earnings and never negative.	Applied Materials Inc. P/S ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then increased from 2022 to 2023 not reaching 2021 level.
P/BV ratio	The P/BV ratio is interpreted as an indicator of market judgment about the relationship between a company required rate of return and its actual rate of return.	Applied Materials Inc. P/BV ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then slightly increased from 2022 to 2023.
