Stocks Are Cheap If Fed Controls the Yield Curve
The bond market helps put the relentless equities rally into some tangible context.
Stock market cheerleaders are finally putting the never-ending rally in share prices into terms that bond investors can understand.
More and more, investors and analysts are justifying the records in the S&P 500 Index and the technology-focused Nasdaq 100 in the context of interest rates, which is ordinarily the domain of bond traders. Strategists at Bank of America Corp. attributed about 16% of the outperformance in technology stocks in recent years to falling bond yields; that’s a record high and more than twice the level observed before the 2008 financial crisis. The earnings yields on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, which measure profit relative to share price, might be at the lowest levels since the early 2000s, but they’re still 296 basis points and 184 basis points more than the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, respectively.
Even trailing 12-month dividend yields look compelling: 1.69% on the S&P 500 and 0.71% on the Nasdaq 100, compared with 0.65% for the 10-year Treasury note. And those rates aren’t skewed by a few companies: About 78% of individual stocks in the S&P 500 have a dividend yield that exceeds the 10-year U.S. yield, an all-time high and compared with an average of 25% in the past two decades, according to Russ Certo at Brean Capital.
All of this is to say: In many ways, it’s still possible to claim that stocks are cheap. But only if you believe the Federal Reserve will keep tight control over the yield curve.
