Valuation ratio	Description	The company
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.	Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.’s P/S ratio decreased from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020 but then slightly increased from Q4 2020 to Q1 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.	Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.’s P/BV ratio increased from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020 and from Q4 2020 to Q1 2021.

² Q1 2021 Calculation
Sales per share = (Revenues_{Q1 2021} + Revenues_{Q4 2020} + Revenues_{Q3 2020} + Revenues_{Q2 2020}) ÷ No. shares of common stock outstanding
= (11,073,000,000 + 11,068,000,000 + 10,540,000,000 + 10,129,000,000) ÷ 2,232,843,755 = 19.17

³ Closing price as at the filing date of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.’s Quarterly or Annual Report.

⁴ Q1 2021 Calculation
P/S ratio = Share price ÷ Sales per share
= 62.89 ÷ 19.17 = 3.28

Valuation ratio	Description	The company
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.	Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.’s P/S ratio decreased from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020 but then slightly increased from Q4 2020 to Q1 2021.
