English term or phrase: price to earnings ratio
Definition from investing-school.com:
The price to earnings ratio (denoted P/E) measures the relationship between the share price to its earnings per share. It is considered one of the most important metric of a company because comparing two similar companies’ P/E shows us which is a better value.

Example sentence(s):
  • By analyzing the price-to-earnings ratio, investors can evaluate a company's shares within the context of actual income the company has generated over a certain period. investment.suite101.com
  • A measure of the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) using forecasted earnings for the P/E calculation. While the earnings used are just an estimate and are not as reliable as current earnings data, there is still benefit in estimated P/E analysis. answers.com
  • Graham sets the magic number of <15 as an ideal price to earnings ratio. I would argue that this number is a guide. Some sectors have ridiculously low P/E ratios, others have ridiculously high ratios. It is worthwhile to have a look at sector numbers before getting too excited about a company. traderplanet.com

Notes to answerer
Nils Elvemo Nei, ikke direkte feil. du fikk en minus fordi det var noe jeg var uenig i (i def.). Jeg kan godt slette den kommentaren, nå som vi er enige om dette med utbytte.


Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Vedis Bjørndal: Ref. also Einar Hansens "Bedre engelsk forretningsspråk og Arne Kinserdal "Grunnleggende regnskapsforståelse".

No  Nils Elvemo: Mht. definisjonen: Har ikke noe med beslutning om å utbetale utbytte å gjøre. Et selskaps P/E-forhold endrer seg ikek hvis det øker utbyttebetalingene. Liker ellers P/E-forhold bedre.

  -> Nei, "Siste års utbytte" er galt - det ordet hadde sneket seg med fra definisjon av den neste termen (se link). Men ellers er vel ikke oversettelsen "kurs/fortjeneste-forhold" direkte feil?
