Economic TimesLong-term wealth creation: 6 stocks with the right PEG ratio
One of the reasons why looking only at Price earning (PE) ratio leads to wrong decisions is that by the time PE gets adjusted to newly announced earnings per share (EPS), it is too late. Especially in the case of commodity stocks, PE ratio is probably the last thing to look at as it creates a mirage of value.
