Valuation 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. CVS Health Corp. P/E ratio increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 but then slightly decreased from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025.
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. CVS Health Corp. P/OP ratio increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 but then slightly decreased from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025.
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. CVS Health Corp. P/S ratio increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 and from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025.
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. CVS Health Corp. P/BV ratio increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 and from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025.

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. CVS Health Corp. P/S ratio increased from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024 and from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025.
