SOX · Bloomberg BEst Forward PE — Philadelphia Semiconductor forward PE — read from 2011
Bloomberg's BEst series carries the SOX forward PE back to 2002 — but the 2002–2010 stretch contains repeated EPS-zero and negative-EPS windows. Bloomberg returns blanks in some months (2008-11 through 2009-09 is the real gap on the chart) and prints distortion-grade spikes (750× in 2003-03) in others. The panel therefore computes mean and percentile from 2011 onwards; across that clean modern cycle, semis trade in a 10–30× corridor, with 2024-03's 44× marking the AI cycle high. Today's reading and where it sits in that modern era are on the metric strip below the chart.
