The recent drop completes a disastrous twelve months for shareholders, who are sitting on a 77% loss during that time. Although its price has dipped substantially, Endava may still be sending bearish signals at the moment with its price-to-earnings (or "P/E") ratio of 24.7x, since almost half of all companies in the United States have P/E ratios under 18x and even P/E's lower than 11x are not unusual. Although, it's not wise to just take the P/E at face value as there may be an explanation why it's as high as it is. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Endava certainly has been doing a good job lately as it's been growing earnings more than most other companies. The P/E is probably high because investors think this strong earnings performance will continue. If not, then existing shareholders might be a little nervous about the viability of the share price.

There's an inherent assumption that a company should outperform the market for P/E ratios like Endava's to be considered reasonable. If we review the last year of earnings growth, the company posted a terrific increase of 59%. Still, incredibly EPS has fallen 88% in total from three years ago, which is quite disappointing. So unfortunately, we have to acknowledge that the company has not done a great job of growing earnings over that time. Shifting to the future, estimates from the ten analysts covering the company suggest earnings should grow by 34% per annum over the next three years. That's shaping up to be materially higher than the 11% each year growth forecast for the broader market. With this information, we can see why Endava is trading at such a high P/E compared to the market. It seems most investors are expecting this strong future growth and are willing to pay more for the stock. ## The Final Word Endava's P/E hasn't come down all the way after its stock plunged. Generally, our preference is to limit the use of the price-to-earnings ratio to establishing what the market thinks about the overall health of a company. As we suspected, our examination of Endava's analyst forecasts revealed that its superior earnings outlook is contributing to its high P/E.
