Valuations At "Super Peak" Levels
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on Jul 30, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour, recorded on Jul 30, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the tension between bullish AI-driven market narratives and the risks posed by high equity valuations.
They highlight that current S&P 500 levels rely on historically high price-to-earnings multiples—comparable only to the 1999 dot-com bubble—and question whether those valuations can be sustained without significant earnings growth.
While AI infrastructure plays like Nvidia and Microsoft are driving optimism, most of the market isn’t participating, and economic data like personal consumption remains soft.
Hans notes that speculative activity hasn’t broadly spilled into the market, suggesting the current rally may be concentrated and fragile.
