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

P/E — Price / Earnings
10.1xLooks healthy

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

On the cheaper side vs the market.

P/B — Price / Book
2.3xAverage

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

Normal range.

ROE — Return on Equity
23.8%Looks healthy

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

Strong — uses your capital efficiently.

Net Margin
13.8%Average

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

Reasonable profitability.

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.
