Key stock valuation and dividend ratios

Stock ratios translate raw financial statement data into per-share metrics investors use to compare companies. This calculator computes earnings per share (EPS), price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), price-to-book (P/BV), dividend payout ratio, and dividend yield from your inputs.

Pair these results with our P/E ratio calculator for focused valuation work, or the dividend calculator for income planning scenarios.

Core ratio formulas

EPS=Net IncomeShares Outstanding\text{EPS} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Shares Outstanding}}
P/E=Price per ShareEPS\text{P/E} = \frac{\text{Price per Share}}{\text{EPS}}
P/S=Market CapTotal Sales\text{P/S} = \frac{\text{Market Cap}}{\text{Total Sales}}
P/BV=Price per Share(Assets−Liabilities)/Shares\text{P/BV} = \frac{\text{Price per Share}}{(\text{Assets} - \text{Liabilities}) / \text{Shares}}
Dividend Payout=Total DividendsNet Income×100\text{Dividend Payout} = \frac{\text{Total Dividends}}{\text{Net Income}} \times 100
Dividend Yield=Dividends per SharePrice per Share×100\text{Dividend Yield} = \frac{\text{Dividends per Share}}{\text{Price per Share}} \times 100

Worked example with default inputs

Net income = $1,000,000, shares outstanding = 500,000, price per share = $25. EPS = $1,000,000 / 500,000 = $2.00. P/E = $25 / $2 = 12.5. Market cap = $25 x 500,000 = $12,500,000. With $5,000,000 revenue, P/S = 2.5. Book value per share = ($8,000,000 - $3,000,000) / 500,000 = $10, so P/BV = 2.5.

How to interpret the results

  • P/E: Lower may indicate value; higher may reflect growth expectations. Compare within the same industry.
  • P/S: Useful when earnings are negative or volatile. Lower P/S can signal relative cheapness on revenue.
  • P/BV: Common for banks and asset-heavy businesses. Below 1 may mean the market prices assets below book.
  • Dividend payout and yield: Show how much profit is returned to shareholders and the income return at the current price.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good P/E ratio?
Context matters. Mature industries often trade between 10 and 20 times earnings. High-growth sectors may justify higher multiples. Always compare against sector peers and historical averages.
Why use P/S when P/E exists?
P/S is helpful for unprofitable or cyclical companies where earnings are temporarily depressed. Revenue is harder to manipulate than short-term earnings.
What does P/BV below 1 mean?
It can indicate the market values the company below its accounting book value. This may signal distress, conservative accounting, or a potential value opportunity depending on asset quality.
How is dividend yield calculated here?
Dividend yield equals total dividends divided by shares outstanding, divided by price per share, expressed as a percentage. It shows annual dividend income per dollar invested at the current price.
Should I use trailing or forward earnings for P/E?
This calculator uses the net income you enter, typically trailing twelve-month figures from financial statements. Forward P/E uses analyst EPS estimates and will differ.
