Ratio	Current	Avg	Range	Percentile
P/E ratio	33.68	27.14	16.90–36.42	90th
P/B ratio	3.39	3.58	2.52–4.66	31th
Dividend yield	0.76%	0.90%	0.55–1.38	27th

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.
