As stock market nears a P/E ratio of 30 - should investors worry?

S&P 500 P/E ratio 2025: Despite a record high for the S&P 500, cracks are appearing beneath the surface. A high price-to-earnings ratio, currently near 30, signals investors are paying a premium for stocks, earning just $3.30 per $100 invested. Rising bond yields further challenge the stock market's appeal, potentially shrinking future returns for investors.
