The price-to-book ratio for the S&P 500 has reached 5.4, the highest level since March 2000, coinciding with the peak of the Dot-Com Bubble. Additionally, the S&P 500's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio has hit a record 3.3, surpassing previous highs from 2021. The Warren Buffett Indicator, which measures total market capitalization relative to GDP, has soared to an all-time high of 209%, significantly exceeding its previous peak of 140% before the Dot-Com Bubble burst. The forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for the S&P 500 stands at 22.3, above both the 5-year average of 19.7 and the 10-year average of 18.1. These metrics suggest that the current market is one of the most expensive in history, raising concerns among investors about potential overvaluation.
