How to read this comparison

Covered companies in this theme. Shared exposure does not imply the same business model.

P/E divides the share price by earnings per share over the last twelve months. The peer median leaves out GD and stocks without a reading.

Each percentile compares a stock with its own weekly readings over the last five years, so 20 means its P/E is above 20% of its own past readings. It needs at least 26 weeks of history. It is not a rank against the other stocks in this table.

Different growth rates, margins and financial risks can explain different multiples. Stocks without positive earnings have no reading.
