TOM LEE: THE STOCK MARKET IS CHEAPER TODAY THAN IT WAS IN JANUARY
The S&P is up almost 10%, yet valuations have actually come down:
- At the start of the year the street looked for 2027 earnings of 350, now it's 400, a $48 increase
- The PE on 2027 earnings was 19.4 in January, and it's now 18.4, a full turn cheaper
- Earnings rose faster than price, so the market is cheaper than on January 9th even with the S&P up nearly 10%
