Double-digit US stock returns are in the past, bubble or not
The S&P 500 looks healthier today than during the dot-com boom, but valuations still point to a subdued run over the decade ahead
THERE’S a lot of bubble talk around US stocks.
The market has been on fire in recent years. The S&P 500 Index has more than doubled in value since bottoming in March 2020 on Covid fears. It’s also up 14 per cent a year since 2010, including dividends, nearly five percentage points a year better than its long-term annual return.
No wonder investors are throwing around the “B” word.
