http://markets.ft.com/data/indices/tearsheet/summary?s=UKX.P:FSI Hi Is this chart correct - it says PER of FTSE100 is 40.... Is there a good data source for PER? Thanks
Would be VERY surprised. I suspect somewhere around 14 and a lot more stable that the chart suggests. It looks OK up until about May this year.
Take a look at this article - basically it is correct - but distorted by some big FTSE companies taking big hits on their 2015 earnings (this depressing the denominator of the P/E ratio which is on an historic basis)
