How the NOVT P/E Ratio Is Calculated

The trailing P/E divides the live NOVT share price by trailing twelve-month diluted earnings per share. The forward P/E uses consensus estimated earnings for the next twelve months. Earnings yield is simply the inverse of the trailing P/E, expressed as a percentage, which makes it directly comparable to a bond yield. The PEG ratio divides the trailing P/E by the expected EPS growth rate to adjust the multiple for growth.

Multiples are only meaningful in context. A P/E is best compared to the company's own history, to sector peers with similar margins, and to the growth actually being delivered. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

NOVT PE Ratio FAQ

What is the PE ratio of NOVT?

NOVT trades at a trailing P/E of 81.52, meaning the market pays $81.52 for every $1 of trailing earnings per share.

Is NOVT overvalued based on its P/E?

What is a good PE ratio?

There is no universal number. Mature, slow-growing businesses often trade in the low teens, while fast compounders can sustain multiples several times higher. What matters is whether earnings growth justifies the multiple — that is exactly what the PEG ratio measures.

Trailing P/E uses the last twelve months of reported earnings; forward P/E uses estimates for the coming year. For NOVT the forward P/E of 35.61 versus trailing 81.52 implies earnings are expected to grow.
