How the reading moved

These changes re-score an older VGK÷SPY ratio against today's 10-year window, so they show whether the relative price has drifted toward the highs or lows of its own history — not a peer ranking and not a return forecast.

About one week: -1.9 pts (from 6.2% on Aug 31, 2026 to 4.3% now)
About one month: -5.0 pts (from 9.3% on Jul 31, 2026 to 4.3% now)

What moves this

VGK's valuation discount to the US has persisted for over a decade, and separating how much of that reflects sector mix (heavier banking and industrial exposure, lighter mega-cap tech) from how much reflects genuinely slower earnings growth is exactly what a simple cross-market PE comparison cannot do — which is why this page tracks Europe only against its own history.

FAQ

Why not just say Europe's PE is lower than the US's PE and call it cheap?

Europe has structurally traded at a lower PE than the US for most of the last two decades because of its sector mix — a persistent gap like that isn't the same as a mispricing.

So what does this page actually tell you?

It shows whether Europe's discount to the US is currently wider or narrower than it has typically been over Europe's own trailing 10-year history — a change in the gap, not the existence of the gap itself.

Does the Eurozone crisis still affect this data?

That period is now outside the rolling 10-year window used for the percentile, so it no longer directly affects the current reading, even though it shaped the basket's longer-run history.
