Dusseldorf With the equivalent of 1.6 trillion euros, the 500 largest US companies are likely to earn a good 60 percent more than the 500 largest European companies this year. This was the result of an investigation by the Handelsblatt in cooperation with the Handelsblatt Research Institute. The tech giants Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet alone are likely to earn twice as much this year as all 40 Dax companies combined.
And with a view to the price-earnings ratio, US stocks are valued significantly more expensively than European stocks. And Dax titles are on average even better valued than European stocks.
In this episode of Handelsblatt Today Extended, Handelsblatt stock market expert Ulf Sommer talks to host Anis Mičijević about whether it might be worth investing in European stocks – or whether the US will remain the measure of all things for the foreseeable future.
