P/S

Price-to-Sales Ratio
The price of a security per share divided by its company's trailing 12-month sales per share. The price-sales ratio is a way to help determine a security's stock valuation, that is, the fair value of a stock in a perfect market. However, it is considered less accurate than the price-earnings ratio because it does not incorporate non-sales related revenues or expenses. As such, it is used in place of the price-earnings ratio only if a company is unprofitable and therefore has no earnings.
