Stock valuation by sector
Most valuation tools ask you to compare a stock's P/E against the overall market average. Tessera takes a different approach: every stock is measured against the median P/E of its own sector. Because Technology, Healthcare, and Energy businesses operate with structurally different economics, a single market-wide multiple distorts the picture. A 30× P/E is ordinary for a software company; it signals an expensive utility.
This hub brings together sector-relative P/E data for all 11 GICS sectors, rebuilt weekly from the Tessera factor panel covering more than 4,000 US-listed companies. Use the pillar page to see the full sector ranking at a glance, or dive into any individual sector to explore which stocks currently trade at the steepest discount to their peer group. Pair the data with the live screener to build a custom filter in seconds.
