The S&P 500’s price-to-earnings growth ratio, or PEG, has fallen to its lowest level in 30 years, according to Yardeni Research. That comes as Nvidia and AMD recently reached record highs.
A lower PEG can suggest a more attractive valuation because it compares share prices with expected earnings growth. The reading has led investors to argue the broader market may not be overheated.
Analysts expect S&P 500 earnings to rise 29.5% year over year in the third quarter. If that estimate is met, it would mark the third straight quarter of growth above 25% and the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, according to FactSet.
Wall Street analysts forecast 27.6% earnings growth in the fourth quarter and 32.4% for 2026.
