4. Term Of The Day 📚

Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E Ratio)

📖Definition: The P/E ratio is a valuation metric that compares a company’s current share price to its earnings per share (EPS). It's calculated as:
P/E = Stock Price ÷ Earnings Per Share

📊Why it matters: It helps investors assess whether a stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly priced relative to its earnings. A high P/E can indicate strong growth expectations, while a low P/E may suggest undervaluation—or risk

💡Example: If a company’s stock is trading at $150 and its EPS is $5, the P/E ratio is 30. That means investors are willing to pay $30 for every $1 of earnings

5. Song Of The Day 🎧

🎧 Song of the Day Track: “Starlight” – Danny L Harle ft. PinkPantheress
Why it hits: Just released today, this euphoric yet melancholic Eurodance‑inspired collab blends Harle’s infectious 90s trance elements with PinkPantheress’s ethereal vocals. The perfect buzz for riding the week's momentum
