Is 4 a good P/E ratio?
Seneca Foods Corp. has a forward price to earnings ratio (P/E) of 4.
The stock price divided by its earnings per share gives us the P/E ratio. This means if the P/E is high, investors are confident it will go on to earn a lot more money. If the P/E is low, there are doubts in investors' minds.
Traditionally a P/E below 10 was considered a bargain, value stock. But a P/E lower than 5 is particularly risky, indicating the company is in distress.
A P/E between 10 and 20 is generally considered fair for a quality company that many investors agree has good potential. When a P/E gets very high, it may indicate the stock is becoming overvalued and therefore expensive. But that's not always the case as it can also simply show extreme confidence in a stock that may well grow into its earnings ratio.

The P/S ratio measures how much an investor is willing to pay for the stock per dollar of the company's sales.
In his 1984 book Super Stocks, successful investor Ken Fisher claimed the P/S ratio is a very good indicator of a stock's popularity.
