What is the StocksGuide P/E ratio alert?

With the stocksguide P/E ratio alarm, you can set an alarm for the price/earnings ratio of a share. Just in time for breakfast the next morning, you will automatically receive an e-mail notification if the alarm has been triggered.

Note: The P/E ratio alert always refers to the earnings per share (EPS) of the last 12 months (TTM).

How to create a P/E ratio alert in 3 steps

Click on the new bell symbol on each share page to open a pop-up. The bell symbol is located at the top right of the stock overview pages and in the key metrics and Analysis sections:

1. Select alert type

First select the type of alert. Since we want to activate a P/E ratio alert, we select the price/earnings ratio (P/E ratio) under VALUATION INDICATORS:

2. Select trigger

Then select the trigger. Should the P/E ratio alarm be triggered when a certain value is greater than or less than or equal to a certain value? We opt for less than or equal to.

3. Set value

Finally, you specify the value at which you want to be notified. In our example, the Coca-Cola share is quoted at 28.95. This is currently too expensive for us. We would like to be notified at a P/E ratio of 20 and therefore enter 20 in the input field.

4. Done ✅

After clicking on Save, you will receive a notification that the P/E ratio alert has been successfully created.

How to keep track of your alarms

You can find all your active and triggered alarms at a glance in the “Alarm overview” menu item. Here you also have the option of editing or deleting the alarms you have already set. You can also filter the table according to specific alarms.
