Price-to-Earnings (P/E): This is one of the most widely used metrics and it comes in at 16.47. That's a reasonable level and generally, the lower the better. Investors will bid up stock prices and in turn, P/E ratios, when they expect future earnings to grow.

Price-to-Book (P/B): This ratio is a cornerstone for value investors. A lower number here indicates a better value play. And at 6.93, Nutrisystem looks reasonable… but P/B varies greatly based on the industry.
