Historical evidence
Valuation regime and forward returns
Daily TTM P/E is converted into an expanding own-history percentile, then grouped into five valuation regimes. Forward returns use adjusted prices over the next 240 trading days.
| PE percentile band | Sample days | 240-day avg return | Median | Win rate | Avg excess (vs index) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-20 | 462 | +27.1% | +19.2% | 72.7% | +5.1% |
| 20-40 | 235 | +43.9% | +43.2% | 98.3% | +26.8% |
| 40-60 | 143 | +30.9% | +14.2% | 86% | +20.9% |
| 60-80 You are here | 354 | +21.5% | +12.3% | 62.1% | +14% |
| 80-100 | 292 | +25.2% | +26.4% | 77.7% | +11.2% |
Quarterly EPS is aligned by SEC filing date before it is forward-filled to daily prices. The expanding percentile uses only information available up to each day.
Current TTM P/E is about 37.11, placing it in the 77.9 own-history percentile, inside the 60-80 bucket.

Method and limits
- Returns use us_price:adj_close, adjusted for splits and dividends where available.
- Excess returns use world_index:^GSPC as the S&P 500 benchmark proxy.
- Quarterly fundamentals are aligned to SEC filing dates before daily valuation studies.
- The promoted universe starts from active NYSE/NASDAQ common stocks, then applies price and dollar-volume gates.
- Snapshot-only tables such as analyst consensus, DCF, us_ratios, and us_key_metrics are intentionally excluded from historical evidence.
- Overlapping event windows are descriptive distributions, not independent samples.
