Big Tech Unplug Stock Market From Reality
The average stock in the S&P 500 is hurt more by rising yields—and helped more by falling yields—than any time this century.
Yet the S&P itself is far less affected by the outlook for interest rates, because the Big Tech stocks that make up so much of the standard, value-weighted index are insulated from the Fed by their enormous cash piles.
The median stock in the S&P trades at 18 times forward earnings, against more than 21 times for the Big Tech-dominated index. (To be clear, that still isn’t cheap by historical standards.)
The Big Tech stocks that dominate the market sit on huge cash piles, while the biggest companies chose to lock in low interest rates for a long time by refinancing their bonds before the Fed began raising rates in 2022.
