China and emerging markets screen cheap, while U.S. equities, metals and energy look richer against a 4.04% one-year Treasury hurdle.
Valuation Lens - August 25, 2026
Cheap emerging markets contrast with expensive U.S. equities and metals
WHAT THIS REPORT DOES How Valuation Lens estimates present fair value and identifies markets that look cheap, fair, or expensive.
Valuation Lens helps investors judge whether current market pricing looks cheap, fair, or expensive relative to modeled present fair value.
Each asset class is evaluated by comparing today’s market price with a distribution of defensible current economic values. That fair-value distribution is built from asset-specific fundamentals, expected growth and cash-flow progression, valuation relationships and multiples, interest-rate and real-yield conditions, historical valuation context, and other relevant economic anchors. The result is not a pure price target: it is a structured estimate of what the asset could reasonably be worth today under a range of economically defensible assumptions.
Where market price sits within the modeled fair-value distribution determines the valuation score: toward the lower tail means cheaper, toward the upper tail means more expensive, and near the center is closer to fair.
The report highlights fair-value gap, modeled expected return, expected edge versus the 1Y Treasury benchmark, and confidence in the valuation signal.
Use the valuation score and fair-value curve as a disciplined decision aid alongside risk, diversification, and time-horizon considerations.
Valuation opportunity map
Green = cheaper relative to modeled fair value. Red = more expensive. Tiles are ordered from cheaper to more expensive.
Detailed valuation dashboard
Given today’s fundamentals, growth expectations, valuation relationships, interest rates, and other asset-specific economics, the chart shows the range of defensible current economic values.

Latest 10 trading sessions of raw daily prices. Trading sessions are shown consecutively, so non-trading days are skipped.
- Bitcoin MVRV near 1.25x is far from the most extreme on-chain profit multiples seen in prior cycles.
- Realized value provides a measurable on-chain cost-basis anchor even though it is not intrinsic value.
- Crypto lacks contractual cash flows, so fair-value estimates are structurally less reliable than for equities or bonds.
- MVRV above 1.0 means the aggregate market is in unrealized profit, leaving downside if realized-value multiples compress.
- The absence of sufficient completed 12-month calibration history prevents a historical Treasury-beat base rate.
