The Shiller PE Ratio was first used by professor Robert Shiller. He uses E10 for his Shiller PE Ratio calculation. E10 is the average of the inflation adjusted earnings per share of a company over the past 10 years. The similar calculation is applied by GuruFocus to calculate the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio. The Cyclically Adjusted Book per Share is the average of the inflation adjusted book value per share of a company over the past 10 years.

Qualcomm's adjusted book value per share data for the three months ended in Dec. 2023 was $20.624. Add all the adjusted book value per share for the past 10 years together and divide the count will get our Cyclically Adjusted Book per Share, which is $17.35 for the trailing ten years ended in Dec. 2023.

Qualcomm Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio Calculation

Like the Shiller PE Ratio, the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio takes the Book Value per Share from the past 10 years, adjusts it for inflation, and then calculates the average. This average is then used for the P/B calculation. Because it considers this 10-year average, it's often referred to as the CAPB Ratio.

The Shiller PE Ratio was first used by professor Robert Shiller to measure the valuation of the overall market. The similar calculation is applied by GuruFocus to calculate the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio.

Qualcomm's Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio for today is calculated as

Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio=Share Price/ Cyclically Adjusted Book per Share
=165.66/17.35
=9.55

Qualcomm's Cyclically Adjusted Book per Share for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2023 is calculated as:

For example, Qualcomm's adjusted Book Value per Share data for the three months ended in Dec. 2023 was:

Adj_Book=Book Value per Share/CPI of Dec. 2023 (Change)*Current CPI (Dec. 2023)
=20.624/129.4194*129.4194
=20.624

Current CPI (Dec. 2023) = 129.4194.

Qualcomm  (NAS:QCOM) Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio Explanation

Compared with the regular PB Ratio, which works poorly for cyclical businesses, the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio smoothed out the fluctuations of book value during business cycles. Therefore it is more accurate in reflecting the valuation of the company.

If a company has consistent business performance, the Cyclically Adjusted PB Ratio should give similar results to regular PB Ratio.
