Cheat sheet

Investing terms, explained

Quick definitions for the words you'll see across our coverage.

A company's share price divided by its earnings per share. A higher P/E means investors are paying more for each dollar of profit, often because they expect faster growth.
The total value of a company's shares: share price multiplied by shares outstanding. It is used to group companies into large-, mid- and small-cap.
The annual dividend per share divided by the share price, shown as a percentage. It tells you how much cash income a stock pays relative to what it costs.
A fund that holds a basket of assets, such as an index of stocks, and trades on an exchange like a single share. ETFs offer instant diversification, usually at low cost.
A bull market is a sustained rise in prices; a bear market is commonly defined as a fall of 20% or more from a recent high.
When gains are reinvested, they start earning gains of their own. Over long periods this snowball effect drives most of a portfolio's growth, as the calculators above show.
