What is Price-to-Sales (P/S)?

How much investors pay for each dollar of a company's revenue

Full Explanation

P/S ratio = market cap ÷ annual revenue. Useful for valuing companies that aren't profitable yet. A P/S of 5 means investors pay $5 for every $1 of revenue.

Pro Tip

Growth stocks often have high P/S. The question is whether growth justifies the premium.
