How earnings yield is used:

  • It expresses earnings relative to share price as a percentage
  • It can be compared with FCF yield and dividend yield
  • It can be compared with bond yields because both are percentages
  • It is mathematically the inverse of the P/E ratio

Earnings Yield Formula & Definition
