Current Industry PE
- There is only one company in the Belgian Telecom 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 Telecom industry have remained mostly flat over the last three years.
- Meanwhile revenues for these companies have grown 4.3% per year.
- This means that although more sales are being generated, either the cost of doing business or the level of investment back into businesses has increased and as a result, profits have held steady.
