How the P/E ratio is calculated?
The price-to-earnings ratio for the index is calculated by dividing the total market capitalization of all index companies by the sum of trailing 12-month net income of the companies. Also companies with negative trailing earnings are included in the calculation. This means that the P/E calculated by us is higher than for example the P/E ratio that iShares (BlackRock) is publishing for their CNDX NASDAQ 100 ETF.
When comparing the P/E ratio of the index to other indices, it’s important to take account the difference in sector representation. One notable feature of the NASDAQ-100 is the exclusion of financial companies, such as banks and insurance companies. This differentiates it from other major indices which usually includes a broader range of sectors. Furthermore, the largest index constituents heavily dominate the entire NASDAQ 100 index, and the index’s performance and valuation are largely dependent on the ten largest stocks.
