[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
ITA's earnings yield is 2.44%, based on its 41.0x trailing P/E. With a 0.37% dividend yield, ITA is yielding 2.80% in total.
RISK
Compared to US Treasuries at 4.75%, ITA's total yield implies a -1.95% 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, ITA's forward total yield is 3.35%, implying a -1.40% risk premium assuming stable Treasury rates.
