Fiscal year ended 2026-09-30Valuation, from the filing
| Public float | $3.70B | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-06-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Float per share | $6.48 | Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself. |
| 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 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
21.8× earnings today, against a median of 5.9× across 7 years on record. Above its own history.
| Float measured | Public float | Float / net income | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-06-30 | $8.39B | 21.8× | |
| 2022-06-30 | $7.84B | 5.9× | |
| 2021-06-30 | $10.64B | 3.6× | |
| 2019-06-28 | $2.84B | 9.7× | |
| 2018-06-30 | $2.49B | 2.2× | |
| 2017-06-30 | $2.04B | 5.6× | |
| 2016-06-30 | $1.07B | 6.1× |
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 Metal Mining 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.

Reconciliation checks needing review
6 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.
