IRCTC and 4 other midcap other stocks with PE ratios below their 5-year average to keep on your radar

The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio is a widely used financial metric that helps investors assess the valuation of a company’s stock. It measures the relationship between a company’s current share price and its earnings per share (EPS). The P/E ratio is often used to evaluate whether a stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly priced relative to its earnings.

This ratio helps investors determine how much they are willing to pay for a company’s earnings, offering insight into whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued. A high P/E ratio may indicate that investors expect future growth and are willing to pay a premium for the stock, while a low P/E ratio could suggest that the stock is undervalued or that the company is underperforming.
