Towards a better understanding: price-to-earnings ratios of high-growth firms
- THE PRICE-TO-EARNINGS (P/E) RATIO IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT METRICS FOR VALUING FIRMS. UNFORTUNATELY, INTERPRETATIONS OF HIGH-GROWTH FIRMS’ P/E RATIOS CAN BE CHALLENGING, BECAUSE THEY FREQUENTLY EXHIBIT EITHER EXTREMELY HIGH OR NEGATIVE VALUES. WE SHOW THAT THE USE OF CUSTOMER METRICS ALLOWS FOR BETTER INTERPRETING THESE P/E RATIOS, THAT IMPROVEMENTS IN CUSTOMER METRICS HAVE NON-INTUITIVE AND SURPRISING EFFECTS ON THE P/E RATIO, AND THAT OUR NEW MODEL BETTER PREDICTS FUTURE P/E RATIOS THAN EXISTING MODELS.
