⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	19.75	27.77	16.91–39.58	7th
P/B ratio	5.59	7.87	4.62–12.14	11th
Dividend yield	3.66%	2.42%	1.27–3.99	98th

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.
