Wise Group (LSE:WISE) Earnings Yield (Joel Greenblatt) % Explanation
Joel Greenblatt defines the earnings yield using the above equation because it more accurately reflects the company's profitability relative to its stock price. Items like interest payment and tax etc. are not directly related to the company's operational profitability.
