Valuation & Ratios

Valuation, liquidity, and profitability metrics are consolidated here (including ratios that previously appeared in the Financials story). Trailing (TTM) vs forward-looking (e.g. DCF) is noted on each line where it matters.

DCF vs price: DCF estimate is $58.04; current price is $276.43. That’s a -79% gap. When the gap is large (e.g. >20%), that’s divergence; when they’re close, that’s convergence.
