⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	42.87	44.05	25.49–51.98	28th
P/B ratio	11.14	12.66	10.38–15.42	11th
Dividend yield	0.98%	0.96%	0.61–2.14	42th

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.
