What's Hot--Overaluation Levels Dip to Lowest Levels Since July, 2013

ValuEngine tracks more than 5000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which trade on US exchanges. When EPS estimates are available for a given equity, our model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation percentage for that equity based on earnings estimates and what the stock should be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and industries. Using our Valuation Model, we can currently assign a VE valuation calculation to more than 3600 stocks.

We combine all of the equities with a valuation calculation to track market valuation figures and use them as a metric for making calls about the overall state of the market. Two factors can lower these figures-- a market pullback, or a significant rise in EPS estimates. Whenever we see overvaluation levels in excess of @ 65% for the overall universe and/or 27% for the overvalued by 20% or more categories, we issue a valuation warning. We issued our latest valuation warning on May 8th, 2013. At that time, the S&P was at 1625.

As of yesterday's close, we now calculate that 69.5% of stocks are overvalued and 26.6% of those stocks are overvalued by 20% or more. These levels remain high, but the recent market pull back-- combined with changes in earnings and stock prices-- have resulted in figures that are now the lowest recorded since July 2013.

If the figures continue the decline, we will remove our valuation warning. This does not mean we have a "buy" signal, just that valuations have declined into "normal" range. The current short-term concern is whether or not 2014 will bring us the typical "Sell in May and Go Away" pattern. The recovery seems to be on stronger ground when the recent labor figures are considered, but of course tensions in Ukraine remain high. Regardless, this has been a very long period with high levels of overvaluation.

The chart below tracks the valuation metrics from January 2014.

This chart shows overall universe over valuation in excess of 65% vs the S&P 500 from January 2013

This chart shows overall universe under and over valuation in excess of 50% vs the S&P500 from March 2007*

*NOTE: Time Scale Compressed Prior to 2011.

In addition to the overall valuation metrics, we see that on a sector basis the declines in overvaluation have also relived some pressure. While ALL sectors remain overvalued according to our Valuation Model, only eleven of them remain calculated to be overvalued by double digits--with three more barely in the double-digit range. This is another indicator that the market is less overheated.
