⚖️ Valuation vs own history

percentile = share of past sessions with a LOWER value

Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	43.57	404.79	26.31–2,866.74	35th
P/B ratio	1.79	2.33	1.07–3.72	31th
Dividend yield	0.90%	0.76%	0.31–1.51	75th

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.
