Current Industry PE
- There is only one company in the Belgian IT industry, so there is insufficient data to make an industry-wide assessment of both the PE and PS ratio.
Past Earnings Growth
- The earnings for companies in the IT industry have declined 9.9% per year over the last three years.
- Meanwhile revenues for these companies have grown 2.5% per year.
