Valuation, from the filing

Public float$1.66BMarket value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-06-30
Float per share$12.72Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself.
Float / net income14.4×A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded.
Float / revenue2.1×A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded.
Float / equity2.6×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

14.4× earnings today, against a median of 14.4× across 3 years on record. In line with its own history.

Float measuredPublic floatFloat / net income
2025-06-30$1.66B14.4×
2024-06-28$1.32B6.1×
2023-06-30$1.16B24.6×

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-Computer Processing & Data Preparation 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.
