Trailing P/E

Trailing P/E

The price of a security per share at the present time divided by the trailing earnings per share over the previous year. It is the most commonly used form of the P/E ratio because it is based on actual, rather than projected, earnings. A trailing P/E ratio is thus the most accurate way to measure a security's valuation, that is, the fair value of a stock in a perfect market.

trailing P/E
