    S&P 500 Crosses 7,800 as Shiller CAPE Ratio Reaches 40.5

    Question

    S&P 500 Crosses 7,800 as Shiller CAPE Ratio Reaches 40.5

    Direct answer

    The S&P 500 index has sustained 21% annualized returns since 2022, pushing the headline benchmark above the 7,800 milestone. Current valuation metrics place the market-wide CAPE ratio at 40.5, matching levels recorded prior to 1929 and 2000. Hyperscaler capital expenditures continue to support mega-cap technology balance sheets, but elevated multiples compress the broader equity risk premium against prevailing fixed income yields.
