Computed by MarketFriction from the standalone statements. Returns use average balances.
P/E 10.3 is at the 25th percentile of its own 9.4-year range (median 12.8, low 4.8, high 34.3).
P/B 2.00 is at the 37th percentile (median 2.28).
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.
