“Medians are the honest statistic for market data — one mega-cap can drag an average anywhere it likes, but a median tells you where the typical stock actually trades. Right now the typical covered name trades at 22.05x earnings with a 1.08 beta, which is the baseline you should measure any single stock against before calling it cheap or risky.”
Across 680 US-listed stocks in the AlphaInsight research universe (as of 2026-09-07), the median trailing P/E is 22.05 and the median beta is 1.08.
