The market sits clearly above fair value

Cap-weighted across all valued stocks, measured against aggregate fair value.

This is exactly what the tool was built for: it calculates the fair value of 35,000 stocks and shows which of them trade below it today.

Open the tool

100 means fairly valued. Above that the market is expensive, below it is cheap. The line is the average across all valued stocks, one point per year.

What that means for you

An expensive market is no reason to stay out, and no reason to buy everything at once. The three lines below are the order this tool was built for.

The base keeps running: broad and automatic A broad ETF savings plan is the part that does not depend on the market level. It keeps running while the market is expensive, and it automatically buys more units when prices fall.

Single stocks only with money you can do without Single stocks are the part where the price matters. That is what fair value is for: not guessing whether a stock is expensive, but calculating it and seeing the gap.

Keep some cash while the market is expensive Keeping part of your money liquid while the market is high means you can buy later, when the same companies cost less. That is not a forecast, it is the ability to act.

Where the opportunities still are

The average says little about any single sector. The range below shows how far apart they are, from cheapest to most expensive. A click opens the screener with that sector.

How to go about it

This is exactly the question the Fair Value Calculator was built for. Three steps, always in this order.

Place the market Is the whole market above or below fair value? That decides how much you put in now and how much you hold back.

Place the sector Even in an expensive market not every sector is expensive. The table above shows where the gap is smallest.

Check the single stock Only then the stock itself: fair value against price, quality of the business, and how solid the data behind it is.

Common questions

Is it still worth investing in stocks now?

Cap-weighted across 26,415 valued stocks the global market sits 32.6 % above its aggregate fair value (as of Sep 11, 2026), i.e. clearly above fair value. An expensive market is no reason to stay out and no reason to buy everything at once: keep a broad savings plan running, buy single stocks only with money you can do without, and hold part of your money liquid while the market is high.

Which sectors are still cheap right now?

The range is wide: Financials sits 5.6 % above fair value while Information Technology sits 70.1 %. An expensive average does not mean every sector is expensive.

Should I wait until the market falls again?

Nobody knows the timing. That is why the answer is a split, not a bet: the broad savings plan keeps running and automatically buys more units when prices fall, for single stocks the gap to fair value is what counts, and a cash remainder keeps you able to act when things get cheaper.

Are there undervalued stocks even in an expensive market?

Yes. From the running evaluation this page lists 5 quality stocks with a gap of 47.8 to 87.9 % to fair value, and the cheapest sector sits at 5.6 %.
