| P/E ratio | The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings. | Broadcom Inc. P/E ratio increased from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024 and from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024. |
| 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. | Broadcom Inc. P/OP ratio decreased from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024 but then increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 exceeding Q2 2024 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. | Broadcom Inc. P/S ratio decreased from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024 but then increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 exceeding Q2 2024 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. | Broadcom Inc. P/BV ratio increased from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024 and from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024. |
