    S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio Reaches 41 Following 21% Annualized 4-Year Run

    Question

    S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio Reaches 41 Following 21% Annualized 4-Year Run

    Direct answer

    Historical valuation data indicates the S&P 500 CAPE multiple has reached approximately 41, driven by four straight years of 21% annualized growth. This valuation territory has previously occurred only during the 1929 market peak and the 1999 dot-com era. The compressed equity risk premium leaves equity index valuations sensitive to any deceleration in corporate profit margins or persistent interest rate levels.
