Frequently Asked Questions
How are sector averages calculated?
We compute average P/E, ROE, dividend yield, and market cap across all companies in the sector that are listed on NYSE, NASDAQ, or AMEX. Extreme outliers (e.g. negative or triple-digit P/E) are included in the simple average, so the median and distribution are often more informative than the mean.
How often is this page updated?
Underlying company data refreshes daily for the top 500 stocks by market cap and weekly for the broader universe. Valuation ratios are calculated from the most recent TTM (trailing twelve months) financial statements.
What makes a sector attractive?
There's no single answer — it depends on valuation relative to history, earnings momentum, interest rate regime, and sector-specific tailwinds. Compare current sector P/E to its 10-year average and look at earnings revisions to gauge where the tide is turning.
