Country P/E Ratios

Yesterday we released a B.I.G. Tips report to our Bespoke Premium members taking a look at valuations, growth expectations, and stock market performance for more than 20 countries that have trackable ETFs.  The report highlights which countries currently look the most and least attractive based on various characteristics.  One simple data set highlighted was the current P/E ratios for these countries.  Below is a chart showing these valuations.  As shown, Russia currently has the lowest P/E ratio at 6, followed by Italy (10) and France (11).  At 14, the US is more attractive based on its P/E ratio than most countries.  Taiwan has the highest P/E at 60, and the UK is surprisingly bad at 34.  It's valuation is worse than China's.  Germany also has a very high P/E ratio at 27.

In Japan, the world’s second-largest market, there is no trailing p/e ratio even to report. That’s because the nation’s publicly listed companies are collectively operating in the red.
