Examine column PE. The 10.25 for ExxonMobil tells us that an investor would have to buy $10.25 of stock to get $1 of current earnings. Would it be a better deal or a worse deal to buy shares of Fedex Corp? Why?

Look at the columns labeled “LAST” and “NET CHG.” LAST is the closing price of the stock at the end of the trading day. NET CHG is the amount that the stock price changed from the day before. Use these two columns to determine what the closing prices were for the previous day, for ExxonMobil.
