# forward_pe

Forward price-to-earnings ratio using next-12m consensus EPS. Lower = cheaper on forward basis.

A numeric signal column on the Tickerbot computed state table (20,798+ ticker rows) — computed by the platform, queryable by bare name across the API. Values are NULL on rows the signal doesn't apply to.

- Group: Fundamentals
- Category: Valuation
- Type: numeric
- Update cadence: post-close daily
- Intervals: 1d
- Universe: all tickers
- History: recent only (forward-only from first computation)
- Nullable: yes

## Query it

Every applicable form factor, grouped by endpoint family. Response payloads are real captures, sampled 2026-08-18 and trimmed; your run's values and dates will differ.

### Use signals — `/v2/signals/{signal}`

One signal across the market: who matches now, who matched then, and a push when someone starts. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/signals.md)

#### Live — every ticker with forward_pe above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/forward_pe" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 238.1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:23:53.603Z",
 "signal": "forward_pe",
 "condition": "> 238.1",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "TBN",
   "name": "Tamboran Resources Corporation",
   "value": 10000
  },
  {
   "ticker": "AXGN",
   "name": "Axogen, Inc. Common Stock",
   "value": 5000
  }
 ]
}
```

#### As-of — the same read at a past date

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/forward_pe" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 238.1" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-05-20",
 "signal": "forward_pe",
 "condition": "> 238.1",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 0,
 "results": []
}
```

#### Subscribe — webhook when a ticker starts matching

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/forward_pe/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 238.1", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

Returns 201 with the created webhook — the same shape as GET /v2/webhooks/{id}, plus a one-time signing_secret for HMAC verification.

### Use scan — `/v2/scan`

The whole market through a WHERE clause — this signal composed freely with any other column. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/scan.md)

#### Live — the whole market, ranked by this column

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \
  --data-urlencode "q=forward_pe IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=forward_pe" -d "columns=forward_pe" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:23:56.190Z",
 "query": {
  "q": "forward_pe IS NOT NULL",
  "limit": 2,
  "order": "forward_pe",
  "dir": "desc",
  "fields": [
   "forward_pe"
  ],
  "full": false,

   "gap_pct": 0.0052,
   "relative_volume": 1.3747,
   "market_cap": 1283064525,
   "forward_pe": 10000
  },
  {
   "ticker": "AXGN",
   "name": "Axogen, Inc. Common Stock",
   "asset_class": "stocks",
   "asset_type": "CS",
   "price": 49.13,
   "day_change_pct": 0.0082,
   "gap_pct": -0.0045,
   "relative_volume": null,
   "market_cap": 2619798528,
   "forward_pe": 5000
  }
 ]
}
```

#### As-of — the same scan at a past date

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \
  --data-urlencode "q=forward_pe IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=forward_pe" -d "columns=forward_pe" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-05-20",
 "query": {
  "q": "forward_pe IS NOT NULL",
  "asof": "2026-05-20",
  "interval": "auto",
  "limit": 2,
  "order": "forward_pe",
  "dir": "desc",
  "fields": [
   "forward_pe"
  ],
  "full": false,
  "universe": null,
  "asset_class": null
 },
 "count": 0,
 "results": []
}
```

#### Subscribe — webhook on a market-wide condition

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"q": "forward_pe > 238.1", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

Returns 201 with the created webhook object; deliveries carry the tickers matching the condition at each evaluation.

### Use series — `/v2/series`

Its history over time, on one aligned grid. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/series.md)

#### History — the column on an aligned time grid

```bash
curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/series?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&columns=close,forward_pe" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:23:58.276Z",
 "interval": "1d",
 "tickers": [
  "AAPL",
  "MSFT"
 ],
 "columns": [
  "close",
  "forward_pe"
 ],
 "count": 6,
 "series": {
  "AAPL": [
   {
    "t": "2026-08-12",
    "close": 302.25,
    "forward_pe": 32.89
   },
   {
    "t": "2026-08-13",
    "close": 305.26,
    "forward_pe": 32.36

   {
    "t": "2026-08-14",
    "close": 305.93,
    "forward_pe": 32.36
   }
  ],
  "MSFT": [
   {
    "t": "2026-08-12",
    "close": 492.43,
    "forward_pe": 25.38
