No. I've added a link that shows the PE ratio dating back to 1938.
Most likely the company is just above break even on earnings, so if stock is $20/share and earnings for the full year are $0.04, P/E=500. Alternatively, stock could be really expensive, so if earnings are $1.00 and share price is $500, P/E=500.
No, a negative P/E ratio is generally not considered favorable in investing. It indicates that a company's earnings are negative, which may suggest financial instability or poor performance. Investors typically look for positive P/E ratios as a sign of profitability and potential growth.
A negative P/E ratio is generally not considered a good indicator for a company's financial health. It suggests that the company is not profitable or has low earnings relative to its stock price.
P/E Ratio
A negative times a negative is a positive. A simple way to remember this is... n * p = n p* n = n p * p = p n * n = p There will always be two negatives, and two positives.
The answer is negative four BECAUSE... 20/5 is POSITIVE four 20/-5 is a NEGATIVE four because a positive divided by a negative is a negative. Easy way to remember negs/pos: n * p = n p* n = n p * p = p n * n = p n / p = n p / n = n p / p = p n / n = p There are always two ways to get a positive, and two ways to get a negative. Very simple.
it is the s&p 500
(S)tandard & (P)oor's 500. The S&P 500 is a market value weighted index of 500 blue-chip stocks, considered to be a benchmark of the overall stock market. If the S&P 500 is up, usually the market as a whole is also up.

Positive plus positive is positive. Negative plus negative is negative. Positive plus negative is positive if the absolute value of the positive number is greater than the absolute value of the negative one. Positive plus negative is negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the absolute value of the positive one.
