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. International Business Machines Corp. P/E ratio decreased from Q3 2021 to Q4 2021 but then increased from Q4 2021 to Q1 2022 not reaching Q3 2021 level.

International Business Machines Corp. P/OP ratio decreased from Q3 2021 to Q4 2021 but then increased from Q4 2021 to Q1 2022 exceeding Q3 2021 level.
