The FT’s Ethan Wu notes: “Standard p/e’s are slightly above historical averages, the Shiller cyclically adjusted p/e ratio is very high and the equity risk premium is near a decade low. If there is a valuation metric that makes the market look cheap, we haven’t seen it.”
Querying ASR’s Ian Harnett: “Might cheapness lurk below at the sector level?” Ian responded, "Mostly, no…"
Referring to this ASR slide of the S&P 500, Ian Harnett explains: “the upper-rightmost chart breaks out p/b ratios by sector. With the exception of media and maybe banks, all sectors are trading above or around their 10-year average.”
