  • S&P 500 Hits Rare High Valuation, Raising Questions for 2026 Returns
    January 31, 2026, 12:04 PM EST. The S&P 500 index has reached a cyclically adjusted price-earnings (CAPE) ratio of 40.9, a level seen only during the 1999 dot-com bubble since 1871. Historically, such high valuations often precede periods of negative annualized returns, suggesting cautious expectations for the market's performance in the coming decade. Despite this, experts advise long-term investors to remain optimistic and continue investing, emphasizing a multi-decade horizon to potentially offset short-term volatility.
