Price-to-earnings (P/E) is the most widely used valuation metric and plays a pivotal role in the stock screening process. Surprisingly, there are only four stocks whose current Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) PE multiple is below their 5-year average PE multiple. We considered only the companies that posted a profit in each of the last five fiscal years and have a current market-cap of more than Rs 500 crore. These stocks have fallen at least 40 percent from their 52-week highs. The list is dominated by banking and finance stocks. (Data Source: ACE Equity)
