Core Valuation Models

We currently track five different models to evaluate whether the US stock market is accurately priced, relative to long-term historical patterns and fundamental indicators. Each model is illustrated below, with much more detail available by clicking into each. Models are updated weekly, or as data becomes available.

Yield Curve Model: Fairly Valued

If the spread between the 10-year and 3-month Treasury yield is negative (when 3mo yield is higher than 10y), it is a bearish signal that is almost always followed by economic recession.

Buffett Indicator Model: Overvalued

The ratio of the total value of the US stock market vs current GDP. Originally a favorite valuation indicator of Warren Buffett.

S&P500 Mean Reversion Model: Overvalued

This model simply assumes that over time the S&P500 will tend to revert back to its own long term trend line.

Interest Rate Model: Fairly Valued

For several reasons, low interest rates tend to push stock prices higher. This model considers current US stock market prices relative to US Treasury interest rates.
