Valuation, from the filing
| Public float | $7.40B | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-06-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Float per share | $62.79 | Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself. |
| Float / revenue | 1.4× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 0.8× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
Every figure here is drawn from the 10-K cover page and the statements behind it, so each one traces to a filing. Public float counts only stock held by non-affiliates, which makes these floors rather than estimates: a high multiple is conclusive, a low one may mean cheap or may mean closely held. The float was measured on 2025-06-30, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 — the year that filing covered.
Valuation over time
16.7× earnings today, against a median of 15.7× across 8 years on record. In line with its own history.
| Float measured | Public float | Float / net income | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-06-30 | $26.20B | 16.7× | |
| 2022-06-30 | $24.50B | 9.1× | |
| 2021-06-30 | $19.70B | 159.3× | |
| 2020-06-30 | $8.20B | 21.8× | |
| 2019-06-30 | $7.50B | 14.1× | |
| 2018-06-30 | $10.20B | 14.7× | |
| 2017-06-30 | $11.70B | 213.3× | |
| 2016-06-30 | $8.90B | 13.8× |
Each float is paired with the fiscal year the filing that stated it covers. Only years where the company reported positive net income appear, because a multiple against a loss is not a multiple.
How this compares in its industry
Percentile among the Plastic Materials, Synth Resins & Nonvulcan Elastomers filers on this site, highest value first. A high percentile means a large figure, which is good for a margin and not for leverage — the ranking says where the company sits, not whether that is where it should be.
