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.	Monsanto Co. P/E ratio increased from 2015 to 2016 but then slightly decreased from 2016 to 2017 not reaching 2015 level.
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.	Monsanto Co. P/OP ratio increased from 2015 to 2016 but then slightly decreased from 2016 to 2017.
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.	Monsanto Co. P/S ratio increased from 2015 to 2016 and from 2016 to 2017.
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.	Monsanto Co. P/BV ratio increased from 2015 to 2016 but then slightly decreased from 2016 to 2017.
