Computed by MarketFriction from the standalone statements. Returns use average balances.
P/E 12.0 is at the 12th percentile of its own 4.9-year range (median 18.0, low 7.0, high 107.8).
P/B 0.36 is at the 12th percentile (median 0.43).
Monthly. Market cap from split-adjusted price; profit and book value as reported by that month. A low percentile means cheap versus its own history, not cheap versus peers.
