Investors can determine how expensive or cheap a stock is relative to competitors or other available investments by using standardized metrics that enable apples-to-apples comparisons. These metrics are widely used by equity analysts and investors for investment screening and peer benchmarking, providing a starting point for identifying differences in pricing that later could be evaluated by the investor/analyst to determine whether a company is undervalued or overvalued. By standardizing a company's market value against its earnings, sales, assets, or cash flows, these ratios make it easier to compare businesses of different sizes and across industries.

One might ask: Is the U.S. “on the road to Zimbabwe”?
