Description

In today’s episode of 15 Minutes of Finance, we break down the latest market news and what investors should really watch for beneath the headlines. We dive into the forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, Explaining how current P/E is used to value stocks and why it can sometimes paint a misleading picture. James also tackles common misconceptions about valuation, including why a “high” P/E doesn’t always mean a stock is overvalued. Whether you’re a long term investor or just trying to understand how Wall Street prices stocks, this episode gives you clear, no-jargon insight into today’s markets and what it all means for your portfolio.
