Financial ratio
A financial ratio is a ratio of two numbers of reported levels or flows of a company. It may be two financial flows categories divided by eachother (profit margin, profit/revenue). It may be a level divided by a financial flow (price/earnings). It may be a flow divided by a level (return on equity or earnings/equity). The numerator or denominator may itself be a ratio (PEG ratio).
