Jan 10, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- Below are the three companies in the Computer & Electronics Retail 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.Conn's ranks highest with a a P/E ratio of 19.50. Following is Rent-A-Center with a a P/E ratio of 10.73. Systemax ranks third highest with a a P/E ratio of 10.04.



GameStop follows with a a P/E ratio of 7.99, and hhgregg rounds out the top five with a a P/E ratio of 3.47.
