U.S. Equity Outlook
ENVIRONMENT
Stock valuations are reasonable relative to 25-year averages for many measures—
current forward price-to-earnings (P/E) is 16.8x
Stocks have overcome significant periods of volatility and large intra-year declines
Value has outperformed growth, especially in small-/mid-cap area
Dividend yield is near an all-time high relative to 10-year Treasury yield
Growth relative to value commands a smaller-than-average premium among large-caps
Balance sheets, buybacks, and dividends remain quite strong, but leverage is increasing for many small-caps
LOOKING AHEAD
Rising interest rates can be accompanied by rising stock prices, especially when yields are less than 5%
Defensive low-volatility sectors (utilities, telecom and consumer staples) have outperformed, but this trend
may be changing
Russell 1000 Growth, Russell Midcap Growth, and Russell 2000 Value appear to have the most attractive valuations
Information technology and health care are the industry sectors with the most attractive valuations
S&P 500 earnings should rebound in 2017 and 2018, reflecting a sharp improvement in energy; however, analyst
projections have not been accurate, so some caution is warranted
Earnings dispersion by industry is notable, with information technology and health care screening well

S&P 500 Valuation Measures
As of September 30, 2016
Sources: FactSet, Federal Reserve Board, Robert Shiller, Standard & Poor’s, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
Price-to-earnings ratio is price divided by consensus analyst estimates of earnings per share (EPS) for the next 12 months. Shiller’s P/E uses trailing 10 years of
inflation-adjusted earnings as reported by companies. Dividend yield is calculated as the next 12-month consensus dividend divided by most recent price. Price-to-
book ratio is the price divided by book value per share. Price-to-cash flow ratio is price divided by NTM (next 12 months) cash flow. Earnings yield (EY) minus Baa
yield is the forward earnings yield (consensus analyst estimates of earnings per share over the next 12 months divided by price) minus the Moody’s Baa seasoned
corporate bond yield. Standard deviation over-/undervalued is calculated using the average and standard deviation over 25 years for each measure.
*Price/Cash flow is a 20-year average due to cash flow data availability.

U.S.: Dividend Yields Relative to Bond
Yields Have Reached Extreme Levels
As of September 30, 2016
Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
Sources: FactSet, Standard & Poor’s, and T. Rowe Price.
The S&P 500 dividend yield is currently 1.28 times as large as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. This is the
eleventh-largest ratio in the history of our data set, which goes back to March 1990. A ratio of greater than
one (i.e., S&P dividend yield >10-year U.S. Treasury yield) has only occurred in 9.2% of the observations.

As a result of historically low borrowing costs,
corporations have been increasing debt and buying
back stock.
Corporate management has favored returning cash
to shareholders through share repurchases and
dividends, but ample capital remains for capex and
merger-and-acquisition activity.

Dividend yield plus buyback yield remains near 5%,
which is attractive relative to the yields available on
many fixed income securities.
Higher payout ratios and dividends suggest that
managements are choosing to return capital to
shareholders rather than reinvest.

ENVIRONMENT
Stock valuations are reasonable relative to 25-year averages for many measures—
current forward price-to-earnings (P/E) is 16.8x
Stocks have overcome significant periods of volatility and large intra-year declines
Value has outperformed growth, especially in small-/mid-cap area
Dividend yield is near an all-time high relative to 10-year Treasury yield
Growth relative to value commands a smaller-than-average premium among large-caps
Balance sheets, buybacks, and dividends remain quite strong, but leverage is increasing for many small-caps
LOOKING AHEAD
Rising interest rates can be accompanied by rising stock prices, especially when yields are less than 5%
Defensive low-volatility sectors (utilities, telecom and consumer staples) have outperformed, but this trend
may be changing
Russell 1000 Growth, Russell Midcap Growth, and Russell 2000 Value appear to have the most attractive valuations
Information technology and health care are the industry sectors with the most attractive valuations
S&P 500 earnings should rebound in 2017 and 2018, reflecting a sharp improvement in energy; however, analyst
projections have not been accurate, so some caution is warranted
Earnings dispersion by industry is notable, with information technology and health care screening well
