P/S Ratio (TTM)

AbbVie (ABBV) shows P/S ratio of 7.80; for JPMorgan Chase (JPM) the multiple is skipped — in Banks, income is dominated by interest spread rather than a conventional revenue line, so pricing per dollar of sales loses meaning and book- or earnings-based multiples carry the comparison.
