Default Re: [P/E] vs growth of a stock

The Price/Earnings ratio is not a constant.

A company with high future earnings growth potential will generally have a higher P/E than a company with low future earnings growth potential.

As a company moves thru its natural development from a growth company to a dinosaur, you can expect that the P/E will adjust itself over time to account for the change in future earnings growth potential.
