A common justification for using earnings yields in valuation is that:

A)
 negative earnings render P/E ratios meaningless and prices are never negative.
B)
 earnings are more stable than dividends.
C)
 earnings are usually greater than free cash flows.

Negative earnings render P/E ratios meaningless. In such cases, it is common to use normalized earnings per share (EPS) and/or restate the ratio as the earnings yield or E/P because price is never negative. Price to earnings (P/E) ranking can then proceed as usual.
