  • Stock Valuations Reasonable

    Our stock/bond asset-allocation model (the Stock-Bond Barometer) is indicating that stocks are the asset class offering the most value at the current market juncture. Our model takes into account real-time levels and forecasts of short-term and long-term government and corporate fixed income yields, inflation, stock prices, GDP, and corporate earnings, among other factors. The output is expressed in terms of standard deviations to the mean, or sigma. The mean reading, going back to 1960, is a modest premium for stocks, of 0.15 sigma, with a standard deviation of 0.97. So stocks normally sell for a slight premium valuation, which they essentially have for the past 30 months. But the current valuation level is a 0.10 sigma discount for stocks, reflecting in large part the recent move lower in long-term interest rates. Other valuation measures also show reasonable multiples for stocks. The current forward P/E ratio for the S&P 500 is approximately 20, within the normal range of 13-24. The current S&P 500 dividend yield of 1.2% is below the historical average of 2.9%, but is also 29% of the 10-year Treasury bond yield, compared to the long-run average of 39% and the all-time low of 18%. Further, the gap between the S&P 500 earnings yield and the benchmark 10-year government bond yield is about 350 basis points, compared to the historical average of 400 and nose-bleed valuation levels of 200. Lastly, the ratio of the S&P 500 price to an ounce of gold is now 2.1, within the historical range of 1-to-3. We expect the results from our stock-bond valuation model to tilt more toward stocks, as interest rates head lower into 2025 and EPS growth picks up. Based in part on the output from our model, our recommended asset-allocation for growth accounts is 70% growth assets and 30% fixed income.
