| 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. | CSX Corp.’s P/E ratio increased from 2015 to 2016 but then declined significantly from 2016 to 2017. |
| 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. | CSX Corp.’s P/OP ratio increased from 2015 to 2016 but then slightly declined 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.
