Historical PE Ratio
Series start. P/E is published from 15 Jun 2026. Index values go back to 27 Sept 2019.
Earnings
Index earnings are the profits behind the index level: the closing value divided by the P/E ratio, in index points. The line moves in steps because it changes only when trailing four-quarter profits are updated or the constituents change. Compare it with price to see whether a move came from earnings or from a change in what investors pay for them.
Earnings growth is annualised from the last trading day at or before the start of each window. Price growth uses the index level over the same two dates, excluding dividends. EPS is undefined on days with no published P/E, so those days are skipped. Past growth, not a forecast.
