How each method works
P / B: $166.18 to $511.01 (midpoint $256.38)
Values the stock at a peer multiple of its book (net asset) value — most meaningful for asset-heavy and financial companies whose balance sheet drives value.
- How it’s calculated
- We take book value per share (total assets minus total liabilities, from the latest balance sheet, divided by shares outstanding) and multiply it by the range of price-to-book multiples the peer group trades at.
- Why it fits this industry
- For asset managers and capital-markets firms, book value approximates the regulatory and working capital the franchise is built on.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. Asset-light companies (brands, software) legitimately trade far above book value, so for them a P/B bar well below the price is usually structure, not signal.
P / B = (2.31/3.56/7.09)× book_value_per_share 72.07 ≈ 166.18/256.38/511.01 (per_share)
P / E: $727.73 to $1,130.41 (midpoint $886.48)
Values the stock at a peer multiple of its earnings per share — the most familiar gauge for steadily profitable companies.
- How it’s calculated
- We take the company's net earnings per share over the last twelve months and multiply them by the range of price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples its peers trade at.
- Why it fits this industry
- For steadily profitable companies, earnings are the bottom line an owner is entitled to — P/E is the most familiar way to ask what the market pays for a dollar of profit.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. One unusually strong or weak year can swing a P/E — the inputs panel shows the earnings the bar is built on.
P / E = (16.28/19.83/25.29)× eps 44.69 ≈ 727.73/886.48/1,130.41 (per_share)
