The charts
A chart of global consumer staples stock valuation shows that these stocks are currently valued at their highest level since 2002, higher even than the pre-Financial Crisis peak in 2007.
The U.S. consumer staple sector shows a similar trend. While valuations are at their highest level since 2002, they are nowhere near the peak levels seen in the late 1990s.
Noteworthy subsectors
U.S. tobacco names are currently priced at particularly high valuations relative to historical levels. Recent tobacco P/E levels are at their highest point in more than 20 years.
Not all consumer subsectors are currently priced at historically high levels, however. U.S. beverage stocks are remain valued below their 20-year average NTM P/E, although it’s important to note that they are currently at their highest valuation since the Financial Crisis.
Valuation contraction
Not all consumer staple stocks have experienced multiple expansion in the past year. The report mentions The Hershey Co (NYSE: HSY) and The Hain Celestial Group Inc (NASDAQ: HAIN) as two stocks that have experienced the largest multiple contraction during the past month.
