# Price multiples are ratios of a stock’s market price to some measure of value per share. A price multiple summarizes in a single number a valuation relationship to a familiar quantity such as earnings, sales, or book value per share.

# Momentum indicators relate either price or a fundamental (such as earnings) to the time series of their own past values, or in some cases to their expected value.
