Price to earning (PE) ratios are an important tool to evaluate or compare companies of the same industry.

For manufacturers of commercial printers, the lowest mark is 8.66 and the highest is 17.12, giving an average of 12.89.
A PE ratio is the price to earnings multiple for a stock. It is the current stock price divided by the earnings per share for the past 4 full quarters reported. So, if a stock is trading at $15 a share, the company earned $5 million dollars over the last 4 quarters and the company has 5 million shares outstanding, then the PE ratio would be 15 (15 / (5/5)). A low PE ratio then is a multiple that considers the stock cheap relatively, either to all other stocks, to other stocks in its industry, or to its growth prospects.
