P/E Ratio (Trailing)
The Trailing Price-to-Earnings (Trailing P/E) Ratio is the most common version of the P/E ratio, where the historical earnings of the company are used to calculate it. It compares the current stock price to the actual earnings per share (EPS) over the last four quarters (12 months) of the company. The formula for this is: Trailing P/E = Current Share Price / EPS for the last 12 months. Trailing P/E is based on concrete, reported financial results and is therefore reliable for historical comparison, but may not fully reflect a company's current or future prospects.
