⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	29.95	34.96	19.38–94.55	53th
P/B ratio	4.03	4.98	3.83–6.65	1th
Dividend yield	1.13%	1.03%	0.72–1.42	81th

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.
