Stocks commonly trade at a PE ratio somewhere between
15 and 20.
Investors pursue two basic types of stock investments:
growth stocks and value stocks. Growth stocks have high
expectations of future earnings growth and therefore usually trade
at higher PE ratios. Value stocks have lower share prices in
relationship to their fundamental ratios and therefore trade at
lower (bargain) PE ratios.
