European sectors are trading at lower forward price-to-earnings ratios compared to their counterparts in U.S. A comparison across the U.K., U.S., developed eurozone, and Japan reveals interesting trends. The U.K. is the cheapest in five out of 10 sectors; cheaper in technology. The eurozone is cheapest in two sectors. Japan is cheapest in three sectors, including communications, healthcare, and consumer staples. The U.S. appears to be the most expensive in a substantial number of sectors with higher valuations. The findings suggest that European sectors may present relatively more attractive valuations compared to their U.S. counterparts, offering potential investment opportunities. -Chart from WSJ
