| Public float | $372.00M | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2017-03-25 |
|---|---|---|
| Float / net income | 4.7× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / revenue | 0.2× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 0.6× | 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 2017-03-25, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2017-09-30 — the year that filing covered.
How this compares in its industry
