Understanding Stock Metrics
What is PE ratio and why does it matter?
PE ratio (Price-to-Earnings ratio) tells you how much you are paying for every ₹1 of profit a company makes. A PE of 25 means you are paying ₹25 for every ₹1 of earnings. A high PE can mean investors expect strong future growth, or it can mean the stock is overpriced. A low PE can signal good value, or it can signal a struggling business. Context matters — which is exactly what StockBodh helps you understand.
What does market cap mean?
Market cap (market capitalisation) is the total value of a company as priced by the stock market. It is calculated by multiplying the share price by the total number of shares. A company with a share price of ₹500 and 10 crore shares has a market cap of ₹5,000 crore. Large cap companies (above ₹20,000 crore) are generally more stable. Small cap companies carry higher risk but can grow faster.
What is debt-to-equity ratio?
Debt-to-equity ratio shows how much a company borrows compared to what it owns. A ratio of 1 means the company has equal debt and equity. Above 2 is generally considered high debt — the company is borrowing heavily to run its business. Some industries like banking naturally carry higher ratios, so comparison within the same sector is important.
Why did a stock go up or down today?
Stock prices move due to a mix of company-specific news (earnings results, management changes, new contracts) and broader market factors (interest rate changes, global events, sector trends). StockBodh's AI chat can help you understand the likely reasons behind a recent price move for any stock you search.
