Stocks vs Bonds: Earnings Boom vs Yield Gap
Description
The S&P 500 is experiencing a remarkable earnings season, with profits soaring and companies exceeding expectations. This is driving stocks to record highs. However, the bond market is presenting a challenge, with the ten-year Treasury yield at 4.5% and the S&Ps realized earnings yield at 3.4%, creating a significant gap. This spread, known as the equity risk premium, is at its widest since 2003, indicating that stocks are becoming less attractive compared to bonds. While stocks have a slight edge in forward earnings, the market is betting on future gains outpacing any bond surge. However, if the ten-year yield breaks 4.6%, bonds could potentially outperform.
