Are the markets expensive or cheap right now? Let's break it down. The SENSEX price to earning ratio is currently at 23.6 while the median value for the PE ratio stands at 22.6. This means the market is slightly overvalued at the moment. A higher PE indicates investors are paying more for earnings which could point to a riskier investment environment. Next we look at price to book, the P by ratio which is currently at 4.39 and the median PYB. The price to book ratio is around 3.16 so the market is priced at a premium to its book value. This suggests investors are willing to pay more than what company's assets are worth on paper indicating potential overvaluation. With both these ratios, price to earning and price to book which are above their median value, it's clear that the market is currently on the slightly expensive side. What's your take?
