The U.S. stock market has reached a record total market capitalization of $60 trillion, marking a significant milestone as it is now double the size of the country's nominal GDP, which stands at $29 trillion. This unprecedented valuation reflects a broader trend of increasing market concentration, with the top 10 stocks accounting for a record 37% of the S&P 500, a figure that has doubled over the past decade. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for these leading stocks has surged to approximately 30x, surpassing the 25x seen during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. Additionally, the S&P 500's price-to-book (P/B) ratio has risen to 5.3x, nearing the peak of 5.5x reached in March 2000. Analysts, including Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett, caution that the current market conditions could lead to a significant downturn, potentially larger than past market busts, as valuations are at historic highs and market concentration is unprecedented.
