This year was no exception, with the S&P 500 jumping 24% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 surging nearly 54%, its best annual gain since the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. While nothing in the numbers prohibits stocks from continuing to rise, the math reveals the scope of the challenges to a repeat with valuations as stretched as they are now.</p><p>Brooks’s analysis focuses on the 10 years through this June, but its upshot holds for a market that has added another 7% since then. He calculated the return on the S&P 500, after subtracting Treasury bill yields, at 11.9% per year for that decade, pummeling everything from non-US developed-market equities to commodities to complex quant strategies.</p><p>In 2023, the index’s runup defied both skeptical Wall Street prognosticators and large numbers of investors who were positioned defensively. The end of the Federal Reserve’s historic rate-hiking cycle fueled optimism a recession will be avoided, sparking rallies in everything from speculative tech shares to junk bonds.</p><p>The issue for stock bulls is valuation after a decade-long expansion, as Brooks sees it.

Brooks’s point is simple: replicating the gains of the last 10 years requires massive increases in the first two components. Even if real earnings go up by a relatively generous 4.5% annually over the next decade, a repeat performance for the S&P 500 would take the cyclical P/E to a heretofore unheard of 55, he calculates.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6317082757be71839466174f901eb099\" title=\"Chart AQR\" tg-width=\"956\" tg-height=\"481\"/><span>Chart AQR</span></p><p>Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading, notes there’s an additional complicating factor: The days of near-zero benchmark interest rates are over.</p><p>“There was significant multiple expansion with massive monetary policy stimulus.

So it’d hardly be shocking if that continued. But even at a historically high rate of expansion, the pressure on valuations would be daunting. Should real earnings rise annually at 6% — the 90th percentile of gains over the last 70 years — cyclical P/Es would need to get to 50 for returns to match the last decade, going by Brooks’ math. This would put them above the peak hit during the dot-com bubble.</p><p>“In even the most extreme real earnings scenarios, stock market valuations would need to pop to all-time highs,” he wrote.</p><p>For now, with euphoria building over artificial intelligence and the end of Fed tightening, analysts see earnings skyrocketing. The consensus forecast for profit growth is 11% in 2024 and 12% in 2025, data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence show. But gains like that are rare.

He analyzed drivers in the market that account for gains of almost 12% a year since 2013 versus inflation-adjusted rates on cash. And given stocks’ elevated starting point now, he concluded, generating even average returns is something of a long shot.“Stars must align in order to see an encore of last decade’s equity market performance,” Brooks said. “After long periods of outperformance, valuations are typically rich, which results in weaker forward-looking expected returns.”Leave it to the quants to find the dark lining in markets that have acted like cash registers since the trauma of the global financial crisis. This year was no exception, with the S&P 500 jumping 24% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 surging nearly 54%, its best annual gain since the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. While nothing in the numbers prohibits stocks from continuing to rise, the math reveals the scope of the challenges to a repeat with valuations as stretched as they are now.Brooks’s analysis focuses on the 10 years through this June, but its upshot holds for a market that has added another 7% since then. He calculated the return on the S&P 500, after subtracting Treasury bill yields, at 11.9% per year for that decade, pummeling everything from non-US developed-market equities to commodities to complex quant strategies.In 2023, the index’s runup defied both skeptical Wall Street prognosticators and large numbers of investors who were positioned defensively. The end of the Federal Reserve’s historic rate-hiking cycle fueled optimism a recession will be avoided, sparking rallies in everything from speculative tech shares to junk bonds.The issue for stock bulls is valuation after a decade-long expansion, as Brooks sees it. Going by its cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio, which smooths out variations in earnings by using a 10-year average of trailing income, the S&P 500 is priced above 30 times profits, among the higher readings on record.By definition, one of three things has to happen for equities to appreciate: earnings must grow, valuations expand or dividends climb. Brooks’s point is simple: replicating the gains of the last 10 years requires massive increases in the first two components. Even if real earnings go up by a relatively generous 4.5% annually over the next decade, a repeat performance for the S&P 500 would take the cyclical P/E to a heretofore unheard of 55, he calculates.Chart AQRMichael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading, notes there’s an additional complicating factor: The days of near-zero benchmark interest rates are over.“There was significant multiple expansion with massive monetary policy stimulus.
