Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

PE ratio is used to determine what investors are willing to pay to receive one dollar of a company's earnings. This price they are willing to pay is based on past and expected future earnings. It is calculated by dividing the market price per share by the earnings per share. A higher average PE means that investors are expecting earnings growth to be higher whereas a lower PE means that they are expecting the future earnings to decrease.
