We have created a new “Industry Overview” page which gives an overview of valuations, dividend yield, growth and profitability across different industries.
With this page you can find the industries with the lowest valuations, highest dividend yield or highest growth. For instance, as of today, the industries with the lowest median P/E ratio are Oil & Gas - Drilling, Oil & Gas - E&P, and Insurance - Specialty. The industries with the highest P/E are Biotechnology, Drug Manufacturers, and Online Media.
You can also check the cheapest industries as measured by Shiller P/E. As of this writing these industries are Oil & Gas - Drilling, Coal and Oil & Gas - Integrated.
If you are an income investor, looking for industries with the highest dividend yield, you can sort the table by “Median Dividend Yield”. Again these days the oil companies have the highest dividend yield.
This page also allows you to find the companies that have the highest growth, as measured by revenue or EBITDA. This is a screenshot:
Clicking on any of these industries in the page will bring you to the list of the companies in the industry in All-In-One Screener, where you can add other parameters to find the companies that fit your investment criteria.
Please note the median is calculated among companies with valid values only. For instance, in the calculation of median P/E, the companies with negative P/E are not considered. Similarly, for median value of dividend yield calculation, the companies that do not pay dividends are not considered.
As always, we keep adding new features to our members. If you are not a Premium Member, we invite you for a 7-day Free Trial.
