Notes on these figures
- The share price has risen 28% since Nov 9, 2026, when the 10-Q these figures come from was filed ($4.29 then, $5.51 on Nov 13, 2026). The figures date from before that move.10-Q
- Profit over the last twelve months is well above what the business itself earned, because it includes large gains outside the business, such as on investments or from selling a business. The P/E is lower than the business alone would give.
- Earnings per share here are the last twelve months' earnings over today's shares, so they agree with the P/E. The number of shares changed a lot during the year, so they differ from the earnings per share the company filed, which use the year's average number of shares.
