S5INFT · Bloomberg BEst Forward PE — Thirty years of Information Technology forward PE
Bloomberg's BEst series records monthly forward PE for the Information Technology GICS sub-index (S5INFT) back to 1996. Two threads worth drawing out: the 1999 peak at 62× is the genuine valuation top; the 223× print of 2002 is an EPS-zero artifact, not a valuation level. The latest reading, long-run mean, and distance from the 1999 print sit on the metric strip beneath the chart.
