factor.explanation
The expected P/E ratio adjustment reflects the historical percentage change of the current market's earnings expectations for the company relative to past earnings expectations. If the value is positive, it means that the current expected P/E ratio has increased compared to three months ago, which may indicate that the market is more optimistic about the company's profitability, or the stock price has risen by more than the EPS expectation has been adjusted upward; conversely, if the value is negative, it means that the current expected P/E ratio has decreased compared to three months ago, which may indicate that the market is less optimistic about the company's profitability, or the stock price has fallen by more than the EPS expectation has been adjusted downward. This factor can be used as an auxiliary indicator to measure the expected value of stocks, capturing opportunities for the market to overreact or underreact to changes in earnings expectations.
