Key ratios & quality

Enterprise value: 81.39B
PEG ratio: 2.86
Altman Z-Score: 12.58

PEG uses trailing P/E against the 3-year net income growth rate (14.05%/yr) since forward earnings estimates aren't available here, so this is not a "forward PEG." Altman Z-Score below ~1.8 suggests financial distress risk, above ~3.0 suggests low risk; the model is most reliable for industrial/manufacturing companies and less meaningful for banks and other financial firms.

✦ Quant Financial Health how this is computed

Good

Altman Z-Score is 12.58, above the 3.0 "safe zone" threshold.
Most reliable for industrial/manufacturing companies; less meaningful for banks, insurers and other financials.
