Valuation, from the filing

Public float$3.24BMarket value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-06-30
Float per share$54.40Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself.
Float / net income132.1×A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded.
Float / revenue4.6×A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded.
Float / equity9.7×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

132.1× earnings today, against a median of 57.4× across 3 years on record. Above its own history.

Float measuredPublic floatFloat / net income
2025-06-30$3.24B132.1×
2024-06-30$2.79B17.3×
2023-06-30$3.03B57.4×

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

Reconciliation checks needing review

2 periods on this page do not reconcile under this site’s normalization. Read that as a limitation here before an observation about the company: the figures are the filer’s own, the filings linked above are authoritative, and a difference usually means the concepts this site selected do not match how this filer presents its statements. Nothing is adjusted to make a check pass.
