Percentile is against this stock’s own 5-year valuation range: higher means it’s trading rich relative to its own history, lower means cheap relative to its own history — it is not a comparison against other companies. Forward multiples use consensus estimates for the next twelve months; a forward multiple below the current one usually signals analysts expect earnings to grow.
