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. Boston Scientific Corp. P/E ratio increased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 but then decreased significantly from Q4 2022 to Q1 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. Boston Scientific Corp. P/OP ratio decreased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 but then increased from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 exceeding Q3 2022 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. Boston Scientific Corp. P/S ratio increased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 and 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. Boston Scientific Corp. P/BV ratio increased from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022 and from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023.
