| P/E ratio | The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings. | Micron Technology Inc. P/E ratio decreased from 2020 to 2021 and from 2021 to 2022. |
| 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. | Micron Technology Inc. P/OP ratio decreased from 2020 to 2021 and from 2021 to 2022. |
| 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. | Micron Technology Inc. P/S ratio increased from 2020 to 2021 but then decreased significantly from 2021 to 2022. |
| P/BV ratio | The P/BV ratio is interpreted as an indicator of market judgment about the relationship between a company required rate of return and its actual rate of return. | Micron Technology Inc. P/BV ratio increased from 2020 to 2021 but then decreased significantly from 2021 to 2022. |
