Q: Earlier you answered a question about Crox vs BYD, and you mentioned the valuations were 8x vs 44x. Just curious what metric you are using there (P/E?), and what is the most commonly accepted metric when discussing the high level valuation of a company and if its cheap or expensive? Thx
Asked by Adam on December 12, 2023
5i Research Answer:

Sorry we should have mentioned that it is the P/E ratio, which is our 'default' metric if we do not mention it. Methodologies change, and if a company is not profitable the P/E is of little use, but generally it is the most commonly accepted metric to compare valuations.
