Professional Stock Analysis Service. We applied some basic liquidity criteria--share
price greater than $3 and average daily volume in excess of 100k shares. We have
been following the sector closely of late because it has been correlated so tightly to
overall equity price moves.

What's Hot
Valuations Back Up As Brexit Panic Fades
ValuEngine tracks more than 7000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which
trade on US exchanges as well as @1000 Canadian equities. When EPS estimates are
available for a given equity, our model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation
percentage for that equity based on earnings estimates and what the stock should
be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be
sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and
industries. Using our Valuation Model, we can currently assign a VE valuation
calculation to more than 2800 stocks in our US Universe.
We combine all of the equities with a valuation calculation to track market
valuation figures and use them as a metric for making calls about the overall state of
the market. Two factors can lower these figures-- a market pullback, or a significant
rise in EPS estimates. Vice-versa, a significant rally or reduction in EPS can raise the
figure. Whenever we see overvaluation levels in excess of @ 65% for the overall
universe and/or 27% for the overvalued by 20% or more categories, we issue a
valuation warning.
We now calculate that 45.6% of the stocks we can assign a valuation are
overvalued and 14.99% of those stocks are overvalued by 20% or more. These
numbers have increased-- slightly-- since we published our valuation study in June-when the overvaluation was at 40%. That last study was published just a week before
the Brexit vote.
Think back to the panic we saw soon after moment, with the doomsayers
screaming that investors should SELL SELL SELL! Yet another illustration of the point that
selling in the midst of crisis is typically the worst possible response for the long-term
investor. At this point, that blip looks like little more than "noise." So, those who sold in
the midst of that Brexit-induced panic locked in their losses.
And the markets in the US and elsewhere certainly shook off that Brexit panic,
with several indices setting new records over the past few weeks. Many analysts
found that the uncertainty in the EU removed any possible scenario where the Fed
would raise rates any time soon. As always, that sort of sentiment provided a boost to
equities.
Of course, that is not to say that some Fed officials don't favor increases, but
the time to hit the brakes may have passed by given the fact that the US is in the
midst of a presidential election, and the central bank is notoriously skittish about any
hint of political bias.
We won't have a better sense of potential rate increases until after the next
round of meetings later this month. If good data for the US and world economy holds
up, the Fed may push for an increase in September. But again, we find that the labor
market should still be given some room to run. As always, and as we repeat like a
mantra, the balancing act between the dual mandate of control inflation and foster
full employment creates tension.
For now, our valuation figures still show a "normal" market, with valuations nowhere
near that bargain level they presented in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote.
