P/E Ratio By Industry Group

Here’s a look at the P/E Ratio of each S&P 500 Industry Group over the last two years. Unfortunately, it’s a hard series to capture.

Due to barely positive earnings, the P/E Ratio of the Materials sector peaked at over 400. Similarly, the Discretionary sector peaked over 50. The problem is that if I had included those elevated levels, the other points would be blurred together. That’s why I decided to use 22 as an upper level.
