Forward P/E Puts Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix Valuations in Focus

mk.co.kr’s Joorini ABC covered forward P/E as a way to judge whether shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, often grouped in Korean shorthand as “Samjeon-nix,” may still look inexpensive after a strong rise. The previous lesson explained the basic mechanism in which EPS, or earnings per share, acts as a company’s report card, while P/E reflects market expectations; together, they shape a stock price. This installment shifts the focus to future numbers. Forward P/E interprets valuation by looking beyond current earnings and incorporating expected profits. For investors, the point is to compare share-price gains with expected earnings and market expectations, not price movement alone. Source: mk.co.kr
