However, the trailing PE ratio of 217.5 dwarfs the industry average of 32.7, flagging severe earnings compression. The stock’s beta of 0.26 (computed) points to low market‑wide volatility, yet the 30‑day price volatility sits near 38%, and trading volume has been on a downtrend, suggesting waning liquidity.
