A low price-earnings ratio, pays 3+% dividend and the price of the stock just hit a new high – here’s the list. For those who might be feeling uncomfortable with “growth” stocks and p/e’s of over 50 (Nvidia at 55 and Advanced Micro Devices at 93, for eample), this group of “not much to do with AI” is interesting.
The current Shiller price-earnings ratio is 39.84 – it’s only been higher than that once before, in late 1999/early 2000 when the dot coms excited investors too much. The decline that followed is historic. Smart buyers can get a good start by sticking with the lower p/e stocks. It may lack excitement but the longer-term is often satisfactory.
