Indeed – AAPL traded at P/E 8 in 2013. P/E 12 as recently as 2018. Meta was P/E 13 in 2022 (at somewhat depressed earnings, too!). There are many other examples as well, although these are the most glaringly obvious ones I can think of.

(Of course, being a rather flawed human, I got scared out of my Meta position which was acquired near the bottom, and I don't even know if I made a profit on it – Zuckerberg's metaverse mania (remember that one? :D), at the time, and huge CapEx spending on those Oculus VR glasses, scared me out of it. And AAPL was before my time. :/)
