Determine if a Bangladesh stock is cheap or expensive relative to its earnings potential.
The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is one of the most widely used metrics for valuing companies on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. It tells you how much investors are willing to pay for every Taka of profit a company generates.
The formula is straightforward:P/E Ratio = Market Price per Share / Earnings Per Share (EPS)
When using this on the DSE, make sure to use Annualized EPS. If a company has reported earnings for three quarters, you should project the fourth quarter or use the Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) EPS for accuracy.
Our calculator also provides the Earnings Yield (EPS / Price). This is useful for comparing a stock's return to other investments like Fixed Deposits (FD) or Savings Certificates (Sanchaypatra). If a stock's earnings yield is 5% but a bank FD gives 10%, the stock might be overvalued unless it has high growth potential.
The overall market P/E of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSEX) historically fluctuates between 12 and 16. Comparing a specific stock's P/E to the market P/E or its sector P/E is crucial for relative valuation.
