| Public float | $707.20M | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-11-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Float / net income | 12.5× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / revenue | 0.4× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 0.9× | 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 2025-11-30, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2026-05-31 — 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.
