Sheldon Schwartz · Answer 1

A company's stock price is defined by the demand the market has over it, by the analyst researching it and their forecast of growth, as well as the performance of the company at generating income.

Explanation:

The P/E ratio or price over earnings ratio is the ratio that explains the price of a stock. We take the price of the stock and then divide it by the earnings per share obtained by quarter and then by year when the fiscal year is over. It is influenced by the demand of the stock in the markets, by the projection analyst may have after researching the company and by the income, the company generates. Today there is an overvaluation of the stocks in all the markets. However by following the advice of W. Buffett and Peter Lynch, as well as Soros we can find undervalued stocks.
