What it does

Industry Pe Ratios is an agent skill from OctagonAI/skills. Retrieve industry-specific P/E ratios using Octagon MCP. Use when comparing company valuations to specific industry peers, analyzing sub-sector valuations, and understanding niche market valuations beyond broad sector averages.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `marketplace.json` and `references/interpreting-results.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Claude skills for agentic financial research by Octagon. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Comparing company valuations to specific industry peers
  • Analyzing sub-sector valuations
  • Understanding niche market valuations beyond broad sector averages

Example prompts

  • “/industry-pe-ratios”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Parameters
  2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP
  3. Expected Output
  4. Interpret Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51e938c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Industry Pe Ratios loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Industry P/E Ratios

Retrieve price-to-earnings ratios by specific industry and exchange using the Octagon MCP server.

Prerequisites

Ensure Octagon MCP is configured in your AI agent (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.). See references/mcp-setup.md for installation instructions.

Workflow

1. Identify Parameters

Determine your query parameters:

  • Date: Specific date for the data
  • Exchange: NYSE, NASDAQ, etc.
  • Industry: Semiconductors, Software, Biotechnology, etc.
2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP

Use the octagon-agent tool with a natural language prompt:

Retrieve the latest industry P/E ratios for <DATE>, filtered by exchange <EXCHANGE> and industry <INDUSTRY>.

MCP Call Format:

json
{
  "server": "octagon-mcp",
  "toolName": "octagon-agent",
  "arguments": {
    "prompt": "Retrieve the latest industry P/E ratios for 2025-02-03, filtered by exchange NYSE and industry Semiconductors."
  }
}
3. Expected Output

The agent returns industry P/E data:

MetricValue
IndustrySemiconductors
ExchangeNYSE
P/E Ratio12.47
Date2025-02-03
Example CompanyON Semiconductor (ON)

Data Sources: octagon-companies-agent, octagon-financials-agent, octagon-sec-agent, octagon-web-search-agent

4. Interpret Results

See references/interpreting-results.md for guidance on:

  • Comparing company P/E to industry P/E
  • Industry vs. sector differences
  • Cross-industry analysis
  • Peer group valuation

Example Queries

Using Industry P/E for Analysis

Company Valuation Context
ComparisonInterpretation
Company P/E < Industry P/EPotential value or concerns
Company P/E = Industry P/EFairly valued vs. peers
Company P/E > Industry P/EPremium for quality/growth
Premium/Discount Calculation
Premium/Discount = (Company P/E - Industry P/E) / Industry P/E × 100%
Example
  • Company P/E: 18
  • Industry P/E (Semiconductors): 12.47
  • Premium: (18 - 12.47) / 12.47 = +44.3% (trading at premium)

Analysis Tips

  1. Use industry, not just sector: More precise comparison.

  2. Consider growth rates: Higher growth justifies higher P/E.

  3. Check profitability mix: Loss-making companies distort averages.

  4. Compare apples to apples: Same business model.

  5. Adjust for size: Large-caps often command premiums.

  6. Look at sub-industries: Even more precise comparisons.
