I'm not sure if I fully understand your question. If you mean that a stock is trading "at five times earnings" this means that the price of this stock is five times as high as reported or future earnings of the company. This ratio is calles Price-to-earnings ratio and is a measure for the valuation of a stock. The lower the P/E the cheaper is the stock. The valuation also depends on popularity of the stock, the company's earnings growth and the industry it operates in. I've already answered this question.
