Definition

The Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings Ratio (CAPE), also known as the Shiller P/E ratio, is a valuation measure that uses real earnings per share over a 10-year period to smooth out fluctuations in corporate profits that occur over different periods of a business cycle.

Formula

CAPE = Current Market Price / Average Real Earnings (10 years)

Where:

• Current Market Price = Current stock/index price
• Average Real Earnings = Inflation-adjusted earnings averaged over 10 years

Key Components

Calculation Steps

Step	Process	Purpose
1	Collect 10 years of earnings data	Historical context
2	Adjust for inflation (CPI)	Real purchasing power
3	Calculate average earnings	Smooth cyclical variations
4	Divide current price by average	Final CAPE ratio

Historical Context

Development

• Creator: Robert Shiller (Nobel Prize winner)
• First Used: 1980s research
• Popularized: “Irrational Exuberance” (2000)
• Purpose: Long-term market valuation

Market Applications

Market	Typical CAPE Range	Historical Average
US S&P 500	10-45	~17
Developed Markets	8-35	~15
Emerging Markets	5-25	~12
