Current Industry PE
    There is only one company in the Norwegian Multiline Retail 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 Multiline Retail industry have declined 3.9% per year over the last three years.
  • Meanwhile revenues for these companies have grown 18% 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, which has decreased profits.
