Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net

calculated by dividing the market value price per share by the company's earnings per
share. A high P/E ratio can mean that a stock's price is high relative to earnings and

relative to earnings. P/E ratio= market share price/earnings per share
16. The market/book (M/B) ratio ?
The market to book ratio is a metric that compares your business's book value to its
market value. This is determined by its current price on the stock market and any
