Value Is in the Eye of the Beholder
The article revisits Benjamin Graham’s classic value‑investing metrics—price‑to‑earnings (P/E) and price‑to‑book (P/B)—to assess today’s market. It notes the S&P 500’s forward P/E of 20.9 and P/B of about 5.5, both well above Graham’s thresholds of 15× earnings and 1.5× book value, suggesting the market is overvalued. The author advises using these ratios as screening tools, especially for dividend‑paying stocks, to avoid overpaying and eroding yield. As earnings season unfolds, investors are urged to focus on fundamentals rather than market sentiment.
