Valuation ratio Description The company
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. AT&T Inc. P/S ratio increased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 and from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024.
