Source, calculation & limitations

Historical index: Before 1957, this dataset uses earlier U.S. equity market composites and reconstructions, not the modern 500-stock S&P 500. Parts of historical earnings were interpolated. This is retrospective latest-known revised history, not historical point-in-time earnings availability.

Freshness: Last complete month June 2026. Later workbook rows lacking earnings are excluded, not estimated. No intraday or spot valuation claim is made.

Primary source: Robert Shiller, Online Data: U.S. Stock Markets 1871–Present. Retrieved 2026-11-03; includes historical CPI reconstructions.

“Shiller P/E” describes the method. Grizzly Bulls is not endorsed by or affiliated with Robert Shiller or Yale. Informational only, not investment advice.

Calculation and independent verification

Calculation: Monthly-average index price divided by the mean of 120 consecutive months of annualized trailing earnings, adjusted for inflation to the observation month. Values are independently calculated, not copied from the source's published CAPE column.

Independent check: 1,746 values compared with the original workbook CAPE column; maximum relative difference 1.097%. Agreement does not certify identical methodology.
