A Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is a fundamental metric used to evaluate a company's stock valuation. When a company has a P/E ratio of five times (5x), it signifies that investors are willing to pay five times the company's earnings for each share of its stock.

This indicates a relatively low valuation compared to its earnings, potentially signaling undervaluation or a cautious outlook by investors.

Conversely, a P/E ratio of 10 times (10x) indicates that investors are paying ten times the company's earnings for each share.

This higher multiple suggests a more optimistic assessment of the company's future prospects or a higher demand for its stock in the market.
