| P/E ratio | The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings. | Cisco Systems Inc.’s P/E ratio increased from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021 and from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021. |
| 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. | Cisco Systems Inc.’s P/OP ratio increased from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021 and from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021. |
| 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. Sales are also more stable than earnings and never negative. | Cisco Systems Inc.’s P/S ratio increased from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021 and from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021. |
| P/BV ratio | The P/BV ratio is interpreted as an indicator of market judgment about the relationship between a company’s required rate of return and its actual rate of return. | Cisco Systems Inc.’s P/BV ratio increased from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021 and from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021. |
