| Net debt (β = net cash) | β | $2.7B | $1.8B | $2.6B | $2.6B |
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.

What does the share cost, and how does it compare?
What could happen to the share if things go badly, normally or very well? Pick a story or make your own. These are examples, not forecasts or price targets.
KIRA summarises the numbers
At $47.45 a share, the company is worth $4.6B: 56.5 times its earnings of the last four quarters.

Share in 5 years

β3% a year
If you put in $1,000 today: $881
At 20x, earnings only need to grow 23.1% a year for the share to be worth todayβs price in 5 years. Faster, you gain; slower, you lose.
These are examples, not forecasts: nobody knows which will happen. Price in 5 years = earnings per share then Γ the P/E then. Dividends are not included.
Value per share

Adds net cash of β$2.6B and divides by 88.5M diluted shares. Ten years of cash flows plus a terminal value, discounted to today.
Value per share
β
Reference multiples: today 52.8x Β· peers 15.7x Β· sector 16.9x.
In plain words: In the long run a share tends to follow two things: how much the company earns per share, and how many times those earnings the market is willing to pay (the P/E). Move those two levers and you see what the share could be worth. Different guesses give very different answers.
Each companyβs latest fiscal year. Fiscal years end in different months, so periods donβt line up exactly.
