The price to earnings ratio is a measurement often used to determine stock valuation. In short, P/E is used to measure what the market is willing to pay for a company based on its earnings. The trailing P/E for transportation & logistics companies operating in the transportation (railroads) market was approximately 59.9. This meant that an investor would be willing to pay 59.9 dollars (or currency used) for every one dollar made through the companies earnings.
