[1] P/E uses the aggregate method over profitable constituents; P/FCF aggregates net free cash flow across all constituents (negative-FCF names reduce it); P/S uses all constituents. Ratios reflect current ETF holdings at current weights. P/FCF has no Forward column (no analyst FCF estimate).
[2] P/E (Non-GAAP) uses analyst consensus net income (adjusted basis) for all periods. The standard P/E row above uses GAAP net income.
[3] The premium above the risk free rate (US 10Y) offered by the investment. Negative premiums can indicate stretched valuations.

Highlights
YIELD
LIT's earnings yield is 1.75%, based on its 57.2x trailing P/E. With a 0.23% dividend yield, LIT is yielding 1.98% in total.
RISK
Compared to US Treasuries at 4.69%, LIT's total yield implies a -2.71% risk premium. A negative risk premium means investors earn less than risk-free Treasuries — valuations are historically stretched, though expectations of falling interest rates or fast earnings growth can justify such levels.
FORWARD EXPECTATIONS
Based on analyst estimates, LIT's forward total yield is 5.95%, implying a 1.26% risk premium assuming stable Treasury rates.
