Current Market PE

Investors are optimistic on the Australian market, and appear confident in strong long term growth rates.

The market is trading at a PE ratio of 28.5x which is higher than its 3-year average PE of 23.1x.

Past Earnings Growth

The earnings for Australian listed companies have declined 9.7% per year over the last three years.
Meanwhile revenues for these companies have grown 4.8% per year.
This means that although more sales are being generated, either the cost of doing business or the level of investment back into businesses has increased, which has decreased profits.
