| 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. | Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. P/E ratio increased from Q2 2023 to Q3 2023 and from Q3 2023 to Q4 2023. |
| 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. | Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. P/OP ratio increased from Q2 2023 to Q3 2023 and from Q3 2023 to Q4 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. | Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. P/S ratio increased from Q2 2023 to Q3 2023 and from Q3 2023 to Q4 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. | Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. P/BV ratio decreased from Q2 2023 to Q3 2023 but then increased from Q3 2023 to Q4 2023 exceeding Q2 2023 level. |
