⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	42.49	43.92	35.14–56.41	42th
P/B ratio	3.74	4.23	3.66–4.84	2th
Dividend yield	0.57%	0.71%	0.48–0.99	4th

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.
