"ACR warns that the S&P 500 is in a historic 'Double Bubble' with a record-high P/E of 46.6, prompting the fund to raise cash and prune overvalued holdings despite strong 2025 performance."
In its 2025 year-end commentary, Alpine Capital Research (ACR) warns of a 'Double Bubble' in US equities, with the S&P 500 cyclically adjusted P/E at an all-time high of 46.6 and its earnings yield at an all-time low of 2.1%. ACR introduces James Montier as its new Managing Director of Fundamental Research and Performance. The letter analyzes the ongoing AI boom, comparing it to the early stages of the Internet buildout. While acknowledging AI's revolutionary potential, ACR highlights that massive corporate capital investments in AI (expected to reach $472 billion by 2026 among top hyperscalers) are unlikely to generate sufficient returns on capital, ultimately benefiting consumers more than corporations. The firm believes the market's greatest systemic risk is a valuation contraction. Consequently, ACR is managing risk by raising portfolio cash and trimming overvalued positions, preparing for an inevitable 'fundamental reversion' of market multiples back to historical averages.
