Indicator Notes:

price-earnings ratio

= Total market value/net profit. When a company loses money, the P/E ratio is negative. At this time, it is meaningless to use the P/E ratio to value it, and the P/B ratio or P/P ratio is often used as a reference.

B ratio

= Total market value/net assets. The price-to-book valuation method is mostly used for companies with large fluctuations in earnings and relatively stable net assets.

market sales rate

= Total market value/operating income. The price-to-sales ratio valuation method is usually used for growth companies that lose money or make small profits.

The price-to-earnings ratio and price-to-sales ratio in the text are calculated based on the TTM method, which is based on data for the 12 months up to the latest financial report (including forecasts). The P/B ratio adopts LF method, which is calculated based on the latest financial report data.

When the P/E ratio is negative, the current quantiles are not displayed, which will cause the line chart to be interrupted.
