Valuation, from the filing
| Public float | $358.00M | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-09-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Float per share | $64.80 | 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 | 53.3× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / revenue | 1.4× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 1.9× | 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 2025-09-30, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2026-03-31 — the year that filing covered.
Valuation over time
53.3× earnings today, against a median of 569.8× across 4 years on record. Below its own history.
| Float measured | Public float | Float / net income | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-09-30 | $358.00M | 53.3× | |
| 2022-09-30 | $713.00M | 766.7× | |
| 2021-09-30 | $1.45B | 777.1× | |
| 2020-09-30 | $1.22B | 372.9× |
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.
