Will the Stock Market Crash in 2026? History Shows This Is the Smartest Way to Prepare.
The S&P 500 CAPE ratio is hovering near its highest reading since the dot-com crash.
Despite some pressures from lingering inflation and shifting expectations around interest rates, the S&P 500(SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has nudged 9.6% higher so far this year, propelled by robust spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and resilient earnings growth.
Amid this advance, the index's cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio has reached its highest reading since the dot-com era. The CAPE ratio measures the S&P 500's valuation by dividing current prices by the average inflation-adjusted earnings over the past decade. It is important because elevated levels have historically forecast weaker future returns.
