Last Month

Internet stocks jumped about 8.0 percent in the month of May, beating the overall market by a wide margin. Overall, the group has outpaced the S&P 500 so far in 2015, but is still lagging the market during the past 12 months.

Valuations

There’s no doubt that Internet stock multiples are lofty, but the most recent growth estimates also come in at a hefty premium to the overall stock market.

Large-cap Internet stocks currently have a P/E of 24.5x and a projected growth rate of nearly 100 percent. The P/E of small- and mid-cap Internet stocks is 32.0x, relative to a projected growth rate of 60 percent.
