Well, it's more of an interest rate change phenomenon.

All companies are currently overvalued by absurd amounts, but the computer-related ones have it dialed a few dozen notches above "absurd". Things became this way because of the zero interest rate (and the expectation that it was permanent), but it's not sustainable anymore.

Google's P/E is 25.6

S&P 500 is at 24.59

DJIA is at 26.35

There are exactly 4 'computer' companies among the 30 companies that make up the DJIA.

If you're looking for overvalued, that would be Tesla at 70.3, or Amazon (Who reinvests aggressively) at 75.6.
