Key Takeaway
A company's P/E ratio (Price-to-Earnings) compares its stock price to its earnings per share. The Nifty 50 long-term average P/E is ~22. A P/E above 25 suggests overvaluation; below 18 suggests undervaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good P/E ratio?
There is no universal 'good' P/E. It must be compared against the historical P/E of the stock, the industry average, and the company's growth rate.
What does a high P/E ratio indicate?
A high P/E indicates that investors are willing to pay a premium for the stock, usually because they expect high future earnings growth.
Why do some stocks have a negative P/E?
A negative P/E means the company is reporting net losses (negative EPS). In this case, the P/E ratio is technically undefined or listed as 'N/A'.
