In our quarterly star rating exercise, we look at key valuation metrics like PE and PB ratios, expected earnings growth, as well as excess earnings yield to determine how attractive a particular market is. In addition, we consider the economic outlook utilising both consensus forecasts, as well as our own assessment of longer-term economic prospects. Our methodology incorporates both top-down and bottom-up forecasts, and qualitative adjustments where necessary to achieve reasonable estimates of target upside for each market under our coverage over a 3-year horizon.
