Valuation ratio Description The company
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. Paramount Global P/OP ratio increased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 and from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023.
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. Paramount Global P/S ratio increased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 but then decreased significantly from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023.
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. Paramount Global P/BV ratio increased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 but then slightly decreased from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 not reaching Q3 2022 level.
