Highest P/E companies (UK)

Companies trading at the highest meaningful price-to-earnings ratio, between 1× and 500×. A negative or sub-1 P/E reflects negative or distorted earnings, and a P/E above 500× almost always reflects a near-zero, stale EPS — both are broken-data situations, not genuinely "expensive," so neither is ranked. A high P/E means the market is paying a lot per dollar of earnings; it is not a judgment that a company is over- or under-valued. Delayed fundamentals from market data, shown with their as-of date.

24 covered companies were left out of this ranking because their last price predates 2026-08-11 (CBC, CCRN, CPRX, EA, ECHO, EEX, ESPR, FJET, GLXY, GTLS, IPF.L, KORE, and 12 more), more than 3 trading sessions behind the 2026-08-14 price the rest of the catalog carries. Every figure here is price-derived, so ranking a stale price beside a current one would order them wrongly. Those companies keep the price on their own page, with their own as-of date.

Ranked by p/e, BAE Systems (BA.L) leads the covered catalog at 32.99.
