Valuation, from the filing
| Public float | $6.31B | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-06-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Float per share | $103.56 | Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself. |
| Float / net income | 25.6× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / revenue | 2.9× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 4.6× | 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
25.6× earnings today, against a median of 17.9× across 10 years on record. Above its own history.

| 2017-06-30 | $1.02B | 16.5× | |
| 2016-07-01 | $760.40M | 17.4× |
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
Percentile among the Motor Vehicles & Passenger Car Bodies 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.
