  10. Parent Companies • So looking at the above chart. • Pepsi is the parent company of Lays • P&G is the parent company of Lams This is important to know when researching stocks. If you are interested in a company and cant find it on Yahoo finance or Hoovers then you should look up the parent company.

  11. PE Ratio A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings. Calculated as: Market Value per Share / Earnings per Share (EPS) For example, if a company is currently trading at $43 a share and earnings over the last 12 months were $1.95 per share, the P/E ratio for the stock would be 22.05 ($43/$1.95).

  12. 52 week high/low • The highest and lowest prices that a stock has traded at during the previous year. Many traders and investors view the 52-week high or low as an important factor in determining a stock's current value and predicting future price movement.
