P/S (Price to Sales)
What the market pays for each rupee of sales. Unlike P/E it still works when a company is losing money — it has no profit to divide by, but it is still selling something.
Example
A P/S of 1.2 means the whole company is valued at about 1.2 years of its sales.
Worth knowing
Only comparable within an industry. A software firm keeps far more of each rupee of sales than a supermarket, so their P/S values are not the same kind of number.
