Earnings Yield

A ratio calculated by dividing a company's earnings per share by its current share price. The reciprocal of the price earnings ratio.

The earnings yield can be used to compare the earnings of a stock, sector or the whole market against bond yields. Generally, the earnings yields of equities are higher than the yield of risk-free treasury bonds reflecting the additional risk involved in equity investments.
