Dow Jones P/E ratio: 25.5
The Dow Jones Industrial Average trades at 25.5× trailing 12-month earnings (as of market close, Oct 20, 2026) — rebuilt from the fund's holdings of Jan 31, 2026 and each member's diluted earnings per share as filed with the SEC. The median member trades at 24.1×, and the fund-factsheet method — a weighted harmonic mean of members' own multiples, which leaves out the ones losing money — puts the same basket at 20.6×.

Where members trade: P/E distribution#
One number hides the spread. For each trailing-P/E range: the thick bar is the share of fund weight, the thin bar the share of members — where they diverge, that range is dominated by a few giants (or a crowd of small names).
"n/a" = loss-making members or no earnings data. Tickers are each range's largest members (hover for the exact P/E). 100.0% of tracked fund weight has a valid trailing P/E.

FAQ#
- What is the P/E ratio of the Dow Jones Industrial Average?
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average's price-to-earnings ratio is currently about 25.5 on trailing 12-month earnings — rebuilt from the fund's holdings of Jan 31, 2026 and each member's diluted earnings per share as filed with the SEC.
- Is the Dow's P/E high right now?
- Compare it with the median member (24.1×) and with the S&P 500's multiple and long-run history on our S&P 500 P/E page. The Dow's multiple usually sits close to the broad market's.
- How is the index P/E calculated?
- The index's members and their weights are read from the fund's own holdings report (Jan 31, 2026); each member counts its diluted earnings per share, as filed with the SEC, over its share price on that day, so companies that lost money subtract rather than being dropped; and the multiple is carried to the latest close by the fund's own price move since. There is no published earnings record for this index, so this rebuild is the one figure for it, on every page. The alternative you will see on fund factsheets — the weighted harmonic mean of members' own P/Es (20.6 for this basket) — answers a different question: it excludes loss-makers and anything outside 3–1000×, and weights by float-adjusted fund weight.
Notes & related#
Current values are computed bottom-up: weights from the tracking fund's SEC N-PORT filing (rolled forward daily by price), member earnings from our SEC EDGAR pipeline (TTM, as filed; Twelve Data fallback where a filing hasn't landed yet), refreshed with each market close. We do not publish a forward P/E: analyst consensus is stated on ADJUSTED earnings, which add back write-offs and acquisition amortisation, while every figure here is net income as filed — Broadcom alone carries $6.01 of trailing GAAP earnings per share against a $19.63 consensus. Set the two side by side and the multiple appears to compress by a third on expected growth that is mostly an accounting basis change. For long-run valuation context, see the S&P 500 P/E ratio (150 years of history); for who's in the index at what weight, the full constituents list; for the cheapest large caps, value stocks.
