P/E ratio The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings. Walt Disney Co.'s P/E ratio declined from 2010 to 2011 but then increased from 2011 to 2012 not reaching 2010 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. Walt Disney Co.'s P/OP ratio declined from 2010 to 2011 but then increased from 2011 to 2012 not reaching 2010 level.
