Log = comparable erasA P/E of 20 and a hyper-growth P/E of 400 only sit on ONE readable chart in log scale — the default. The axis still reads the actual multiple.
Old vs newThe old names (Apple · Intel · IBM · Oracle · Cisco) carry the dot-com memory — Cisco's ~150× peak vs its ~25× today. The new names (Palantir · quantum · Arm) show what the market pays for a story before the earnings arrive.
Percentile beats the absoluteA P/E of 25 sounds cheap — unless the stock usually trades at 12. The cross-sectional rank panel scores each name against its OWN history (percentile + z), so 'rich for THIS stock' is separated from 'rich in absolute terms'.
Hot/cold tape = who's stretchedThe line chart shows exact paths; the tape makes it glanceable which names are red-hot (expensive vs their own history) and which are washed-out blue right now.
Current P/E — 3 modes, liveThe CURRENT read updates on load + daily from the latest price, three ways you toggle: Trailing (actual TTM EPS), Current-yr est. and Forward (published analyst EPS estimates). All facts — the app presents the computed multiples and never forecasts. The deep line stays trailing-actual; estimate modes mark "now" as a distinct ◇ hollow marker.
Isolate one nameClick any line to isolate it — its own-history 10–90% band draws behind it (with the actual date span) so you can see where today sits in its range. Click empty space to clear. Shift-click for every line at that month. Click a tape date column to rank every stock at that month.
Gaps are honestWhere P/E is undefined (a loss year) the line simply breaks. The loss-making quantum names (IonQ · Rigetti · D-Wave) carry no line at all; SpaceX is private — no public EPS, no P/E. Never stretched to fake a longer history.
vs the S&P 500The dashed dark line is the market's own trailing P/E (its long-run average marked flat). A stock far above it is paying a premium to the market; below it, a discount.
