A price$-$earnings ratio or P$/$E ratio is calculated as a firm's share price compared to the income or profit earned by the firm per share. Generally, a high P$/$E ratio suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the future compared to firms with a lower $\frac{P}{E}$ ratio. The accompanying table shows a portion of $\frac{P}{E}$ ratios for $30$ firms.
