Plain-English rules of thumb for beginners — tap the  to learn each one. Not investment advice.

P/E — Price / Earnings
30.4xTake a closer look

How many years of profit you're paying for. Lower can mean cheaper — but a very low number can also signal trouble.

Pricey — the market expects high growth.

P/B — Price / Book
23.2xTake a closer look

Price vs the company's net assets (book value). Under 1x means it trades below what it owns on paper.

High — you're paying a big premium over assets.

ROE — Return on Equity
66.0%Looks healthy

How efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. Higher is better.

Strong — uses your capital efficiently.

Net Margin
11.1%Average

Of every $100 in sales, how much becomes actual profit. Higher = more profitable business.

Reasonable profitability.

Dividend Yield
1.93%Info

Annual cash the company pays you, as a % of the share price. Not better or worse — just a different kind of return.

Pays you cash while you hold.

These signals are simple, sector-agnostic rules of thumb (a “good” P/E for a bank differs from a tech firm). Use them to learn what to look at — not as buy/sell calls.
