Price-to-earnings

The P/E on this site is the SGX screener ratio. EPS on the stock row is copied from the newest SGX income statement after the statements job, diluted EPS onto the quote. If EPS is missing or not positive, we do not invent a P/E. The cell is a dash.

For a bank, earnings swing with credit costs and net interest margin. The usual first look among DBS, OCBC and UOB is price-to-book, which we also print. The live table below shows P/E next to P/B so that contrast is visible.

For an S-REIT, reported earnings can include fair-value movements on properties. Distribution and gearing are the first read. P/E is a weak one.

A low P/E can be a cheap stock, or a market that does not believe the last EPS will repeat. We do not call either case on the page.

We do not publish a fair-value P/E or a house target. The analyst-target cell stays empty until a named source exists. The only comparison we compute is this name against other featured stocks in the same SGX sector, on the peer table.
