P/E divided by EPS growth — under 1 = cheap
Trailing P/E uses the last 12 months of actual reported earnings — it is the most reliable number because the inputs have already happened. Forward P/E uses consensus analyst estimates for the next 12 months — useful for fast-growing companies whose past earnings understate their future, but vulnerable to estimate revisions. The PEG ratio (P/E divided by earnings growth) is the bridge: a PEG below 1.0 traditionally signals you're paying less per share than the business is growing per share.

Interpreting ELUX-B.ST's P/E
What "Market-like" means here: In line with the S&P 500 historical range. Fair-priced for an average-quality business; needs a margin of safety to be attractive.
Decision rule: a low P/E by itself is not a buy signal. Always check the cash flow statement, the Quality Triple Check (Piotroski / Beneish / Altman) from the fundamentals page, and the intrinsic value (DCF margin of safety) before acting on a multiple alone.
Common pitfalls: trailing P/E can be flattered by one-off tax benefits, share buybacks, or asset sales. Forward P/E can be overstated by overly optimistic analyst estimates. Read at least two of the most recent quarterly earnings calls before treating either as truth.
