1 True EY is the earnings yield considering debts and cash. Compare it to one-year Treasuries and CD which are basically risk free. It is the reciprocal of “EV/EBITDA”. It is obtained from Yahoo!Finance (under Statistics). Most use P/E and not Forward P/E (guessing the future earnings). Even if Forward P/E is used, it may not be upgraded during this fast-changing period. They the EYs from the time of evaluation, NOT today’s values.

 

2 Rounded up for easy reading, but not in the calculation in “Beat SPY by”.
