⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	21.89	23.70	19.40–29.48	14th
P/B ratio	3.12	3.92	3.03–4.61	1th
Dividend yield	1.30%	1.19%	0.95–1.49	78th

A high P/E percentile means the index is expensive versus its own past; for dividend yield it is the opposite — a high percentile means a fatter yield than usual.
