Bespoke: Technology PE Ratios Back To Historical Lows



Bespoke again provides us with an interesting chart, this time illustrating how low the price earnings ratio of technology stocks has fallen. This is a very interesting observation though I would like to see the time period covered extend back much further since 1995 was well into the bull run from 1982. i also would add PE ratios are not always useful timing devices since the ratio can rise for two reasons, rising price which is a good thing, or falling earnings which is not. Nevertheless low PE ratios in general reflect some increased margin of safety for purchasers of stocks.

Bespoke produces a lot of free content but they also produce substantial content for subscribers to their research. Today they have a post showing some of the subscriber content from the past week.
