⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	40.83	37.81	30.63–45.60	80th
P/B ratio	5.18	5.41	4.29–6.71	32th
Dividend yield	0.52%	0.61%	0.44–0.92	10th

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.
