Extended read

The Shiller CAPE ratio, which adjusts earnings for inflation over a 10-year period, suggests the market is significantly overvalued relative to historical norms. The current reading of 41 matches the peak seen in the late 1990s. While AI-driven growth in mega-cap tech has supported these levels, the concentration risk and valuation stretch increase sensitivity to macro shocks or earnings misses.
