30 P/E SHILLER PRICE/EARNINGS RATIOS Long-Term Stock Market P/E Valuations Fell A Bit In December-Still In Highest Valuation Levels Note: Created by Robert J. Shiller, Professor at Yale University, this Price Earnings Ratio is based on average inflation-adjusted earnings from the previous 10 years (Each year of earnings is inflated and quoted in current dollars), known as the Cyclically Adjusted P/E Ratio, also known as the Shiller PE Ratio, or PE 10 Ratio. Because this factors in earnings from the previous ten years, it is less prone to wild swings in any one year. The bad news: Because of the current high P/E valuation of returns on the S&P 500 are likely to be in the very low single digits over the next ten years.
