QuestionsCategory: Exit StrategiesLook Back Period for company's PB and PE ratio
Chee Hong Choy asked 5 years ago

Hi,
When ploting PB and PE chart, what is the look back period should I use? Sometimes the Mean and Std Dev figure would differ greatly depending on the look back period we choose and that will cloud my decision to sell.
Thanks

I normally use 5-10 years, as well as crisis and peak (extremes for information), as a simple gauge

Hi Chee Hong,
 
i usually try to get minimum 5 years but if I have a longer period that would be preferred.
