price-earnings relative

The relative amount found by dividing a stock's price-earnings ratio by that of the market as given by a widespread market yardstick such as the S&P 500 or the Value Line index (This relative suggests to the investor whether his investment's price is reasonable compared to the market. Also can be used for historical comparison with P/E relatives of recent years.)
