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. Colgate-Palmolive Co. P/E ratio increased from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 and from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023.
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. Colgate-Palmolive Co. P/OP ratio increased from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 but then decreased significantly from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023.
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. Colgate-Palmolive Co. P/S ratio increased from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 but then decreased significantly from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023.
