How this series is computed

Each week, we compute every covered constituent's trailing P/E and P/S from its SEC filings and that week's closing price, then record the median. Half of constituents trade above the median, half below.
The P/E median only counts companies with positive trailing earnings, so its constituent count runs lower than P/S. Both counts are stored per week and shown next to the data, never assumed.
Coverage approximates the S&P 500: index constituents plus curated megacaps, 474 US large caps today. Early weeks have fewer names because some constituents listed later.
The headline percentile ranks the current weekly median within the full history since 2016, using the same math as every stock page on this site.
