Deep dives

Overvaluation of the Stock Market

The current valuation of the U.S. stock market is at an unprecedented level, with equities being approximately 40% more overvalued on a price-to-sales ratio than in 2000. Such extreme valuation positions the market in the rarest of circumstances, framing it as being historically overextended. This disconnect between asset prices and their underlying value raises concerns, particularly regarding the implications for future market stability. The focus on the strength of the U.S. consumer complicates this picture further, as various economic indicators suggest that consumer confidence may not be as robust as it appears.
