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. Johnson & Johnson P/E ratio increased from 2021 to 2022 but then decreased significantly from 2022 to 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. Johnson & Johnson P/OP ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then slightly increased from 2022 to 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. Johnson & Johnson P/S ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then slightly increased from 2022 to 2023.
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. Johnson & Johnson P/BV ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then slightly increased from 2022 to 2023.
