Dec 12, 2012 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- Below are the three companies in the Application Software industry with the highest price to earnings (P/E) ratios. P/E is an important valuation tool when comparing companies in the same industry. A higher P/E ratio means that investors are paying more for each unit of net income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with a lower P/E ratio.PROS Holdings ranks highest with a a P/E ratio of 84.29. Following is Datawatch with a a P/E ratio of 76.32. BroadSoft ranks third highest with a a P/E ratio of 68.54.



AutoNavi Holdings follows with a a P/E ratio of 66.76, and MicroStrategy rounds out the top five with a a P/E ratio of 47.88.
