Nvidia and Meta emerge as value plays in 2026, but is the risk worth it?
Nvidia and Meta Platforms, key components of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ stocks, are currently trading at lower forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios than the S&P 500. According to a study by The Motley Fool as of early March 2026, Nvidia’s forward P/E is 22.1 and Meta’s is 21.8, while the S&P 500’s forward P/E stands at 23.6. This means that investors are paying less for the projected earnings of these tech leaders compared to the average company in the S&P 500.
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio assesses a company’s share price in relation to its earnings per share (EPS). Although not a foolproof tool, it helps analysts and investors evaluate the relative value of shares within a peer group or an index.
