Valuation, from the filing

Public float$3.65BMarket value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-06-28
Float per share$309.83Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself.
Float / net income35.8×A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded.
Float / revenue3.5×A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded.
Float / equity3.7×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 2025-06-28, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2026-01-03 — the year that filing covered.

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.
