Inverse of PE vs CoE vs RoE vs Lev IRR

I came across an old thread where one guy was asked this question. Nobody answered so I thought I would start a new thread. This is how I think of these things and what they mean.

Inverse of PE - sellers yield meaning how much return as a stock owner can you expect on the equity relative to its current price in the market. How much return are you getting

Cost of Equity (Re) - cost of issuing that stock for the company itself (HOW MUcH return should you actually be expecting) . This is market based and only relevant for companies that are operating publicly

RoE - how effectively is the company utilizing its equity

Levered IRR - the return that I’d expect for investing in the equity of the company that was private.

thoughts? Agree or disagree?
