Indicator Notes:

Price-earnings ratio

= total market capitalization / net profit. When the company loses money, the price-to-earnings ratio is negative, so it is of no practical significance to use the price-to-earnings ratio or the price-to-sales ratio as a reference.

Price to book ratio

= total market capitalization / net assets. The price-to-book ratio valuation method is mostly used for companies whose earnings fluctuate greatly and their net assets are relatively stable.

Market sales ratio

= total market capitalization / operating income. The valuation method of price-to-sales ratio is usually used for growth companies that are losing money or making small profits.

In this paper, the price-to-earnings ratio and price-to-sales ratio are calculated by TTM, that is, based on the 12-month data up to the latest financial report (including forecast). The price-to-book ratio is calculated on the basis of LF, which is based on the latest financial report.

When the price-to-earnings ratio is negative, the current quantile is not displayed, which will lead to the interruption of the line chart.
