There are four small-cap debt-free companies with price-to-earnings ratios as high as nearly 144.65, which we have identified using a screener.

The price-to-earnings ratio or P/E ratio is used to determine the stock valuation. A P/E ratio can reveal how a stock's value compares to its industry group or the index like BSE or NSE. It also helps to determine the market value of a stock as compared to the company's earnings.
The P/E shows what the market is ready to pay today for a stock based on its past or potential earnings. A high P/E ratio indicates that a stock's price is high relative to earnings and is overvalued. Likewise, a low P/E ratio points indicate that the current stock price is low relative to earnings.
Additionally, a high P/E ratio of a company may mean that it is expected that revenue would grow faster in the future. Based on it speculation is done, leading to a spurt in its current stock prices.
