- **Price / sales: 4.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.2×.
- **Price / book: 2.4×**. The shares trade at 2.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 16.1×**. Enterprise value is 16.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
