This study takes the US stock market as an example to explore the compilation method of Cyclical Adjusted Price to Earnings ratio (CAPE), and compares it with the traditional Price to Earnings ratio to measure the explanatory power of the stock market. The results of the study found that CAPE's ability to explain stock market returns is better than traditional PE ratios, and its ability to explain long-term returns is higher than short-term returns. This article also compiles Taiwan CAPE, and the same conclusion is reached.
