3 of the 8 priced multiples above sit in the richer half of its band.

The multiples are computed separately from the quote above and are not re-priced as it moves, so they can lag it.

Skip it if any of these is you
You can't sit through -53%
That is this name's deepest measured fall, on 50% annualized volatility. A drawdown of that size is normal here, not exceptional.
You want income
A 0.30% yield is a rounding error against cash. This is a capital-gains position.

Bankruptcy-risk score. Above 3.0 is the safe band.
Piotroski F
Nine pass/fail health tests; 7 or more is strong.
