Pro Tips

  • Price-to-sales ratio compares a company's total market value to its annual revenue, showing how much investors are paying per dollar of sales
  • A lower P/S ratio can suggest a stock is undervalued relative to its revenue, though this varies significantly by industry
  • P/S ratio is especially useful for valuing companies that aren't yet profitable, since it doesn't rely on earnings
  • Compare P/S ratios only within the same industry, since typical ratios vary widely between sectors like software and retail

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good P/S ratio?

This varies enormously by industry - high-growth software companies often trade at much higher P/S ratios than mature retail or industrial companies. Compare only within the same sector.

Why use P/S instead of P/E ratio?

P/S ratio is useful for companies that aren't yet profitable (and therefore have no meaningful P/E ratio), since revenue is generally positive even when earnings aren't.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All calculations happen instantly in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter is transmitted anywhere.

Can I use share price and revenue per share instead of market cap and total revenue?

Yes - as long as you use consistent per-share or total figures for both numbers, the resulting ratio will be the same.
