| Public float | $389.50M | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|
| Float per share | $1.54 | 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 | 13.4× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / revenue | 0.1× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 0.5× | 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 2025-12-31, 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
13.4× earnings today, against a median of 16.9× across 7 years on record. Below its own history.
| Float measured | Public float | Float / net income | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-12-31 | $389.50M | 13.4× | |
| 2024-12-31 | $594.00M | 262.9× | |
| 2023-12-31 | $628.90M | 4693.3× | |
| 2022-12-31 | $410.10M | 20.6× | |
| 2021-06-30 | $355.80M | 16.9× | |
| 2020-12-31 | $120.00M | 2.1× | |
| 2020-06-30 | $120.00M | 2.1× |
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 Services-Advertising Agencies 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.

| Net margin | 1.0% | 80th | |
| Operating margin | 5.5% | 80th | |
| Current ratio | 0.79x | 33th | |
| Revenue YoY growth | 2.4% | 33th | |
| Gross margin | 36.5% | 40th | |
| SBC / revenue | 1.9% | 60th |

Reconciliation checks needing review
3 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.
