December 2024 SPY, QQQ, IWM Month-End Review
We look at SPY, QQQ, IWM price technicals, P/E valuation, shareholder yield, and fund flows
Hi YXI friends,
In this article, we review the current SPY, QQQ, IWM price technicals using Elliott Waves Theory, their P/E multiples, their shareholder yield vs. 10Y Treasury yield, and their ETF fund flows.
This should provide a good overview of where equities are traded today relative to historical levels and the risk free returns.
Shareholder yield is based on three important components compared to the market cap (calculated by Koyfin):
Dividend yield — the amount of dividends paid to shareholders
Buyback yield — the amount spent repurchasing shares. This may indicate that management believes a stock is undervalued
Debt paydown yield — the net change in long term debt over the trailing twelve months. Some investors consider that debt paydown is a way to enhance shareholder value by increasing the equity holder’s claim on the assets
