2022 Q3 Earnings: Market Still Overvalued

2022 Q3 Earnings: Market Still Overvalued

Preliminary earnings numbers are in for 2022 Q3. To clarify, earnings results are collected for the three months after the end of the quarter. “Earnings season,” the collection period for 2022 Q4, has just begun.

The following chart shows the normal value range of the S&P 500 Index, indicating where the S&P 500 would have to be in order to have an overvalued P/E of 20 (red line), a fairly valued P/E of 15 (blue line), or an undervalued P/E of 10 (green line). Annotations on the right side of the chart show where the range is projected to be based upon earnings estimates through 2023 Q3.

Historically, price has usually remained below the top of the normal value range (red line); however, since about 1998, it has not been uncommon for price to exceed normal overvalue levels, sometimes by a lot. The market has been mostly overvalued since 1992, and it has not been undervalued since 1984. We could say that this is the “new normal,” except that it isn’t normal by GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) standards.

We use GAAP earnings as the basis for our analysis. The table below shows earnings projections through September 2023. Keep in mind that the P/E estimates are calculated based upon the S&P 500 close as of December 30, 2022. They will change daily depending on where the market goes from here. It is notable that the P/E is again outside the normal range.

The following table shows where the bands are projected be, based upon earnings estimates through 2023 Q3.

This DecisionPoint chart keeps track of S&P 500 fundamentals, P/E and yield, and it is updated daily — not that you need to watch it that closely, but it is up-to-date when you need it.

CONCLUSION: The market is still overvalued and slightly above the normal range. As the bear market progresses, I expect actual earnings will fall short of estimates, and that prices will continue to fall. I would like to see the S&P 500 get back to the undervalued level, which I’m sure will happen when pigs fly. Falling prices will help that happen, but falling earnings will cause the value range to move lower, making it harder to reach undervalue.
