Ziff Davis' PE ratio is not a meaningful number today: net income over the last twelve months was more than twice operating income, so most of it came from below the operating line (a gain on a sale, debt written off, a tax benefit, investment income) and the low PE on it says nothing about the business.
It was last meaningful in Aug 2026, at 47.7×.
On the days it had one over the last ten years, its median was 25.4×, from 10.0× in Sep 2022 to 108× in Jul 2023.

What the PE ratio tells you
Share price divided by earnings per share over the last twelve months. It is the price tag on a dollar of profit: 20× means you pay $20 for $1 of yearly earnings.
Blank while earnings are negative. A very low PE can mean the market expects profits to fall, so read it with growth and the company's own history.
