Concepts read: us-gaap:EarningsPerShareDiluted
Per filed share, as each report states it. Free cash flow per share is operating cash flow less capital expenditure, over the diluted weighted average share count (or net income over diluted EPS where the count is tagged per share class).
Each year’s change comes from one annual report, which states that year and the year before on the same share basis, and the rate compounds those changes; so a split or a restatement between reports cannot bend it. A rate needs a positive figure at both ends of its window. The DCF above grows total free cash flow and divides by today’s share count, so a per-share rate also carries the buybacks or new shares of those years. These are past figures, not a forecast.
Not shown yet: the P/E range XYZ has traded at, which would set the discount rate and terminal assumptions against its own history. It needs a long daily price history we are not yet licensed to display.
Stage-1 growth down the side, discount rate across the top, with terminal growth at 2.5% and 10 years of stage 1. Every cell runs the same two-stage DCF as the card above, so moving a slider moves the grid.
| Growth ↓ Discount → | 7% | 8% | 9% | 10% | 11% |

Estimates, not targets. The DCF treats free cash flow as cash flow to equity and divides by shares (the common retail shortcut — it skips net debt and a full WACC), so it’s a sanity-check, not a valuation opinion. All inputs are from XYZ’s SEC filings; change any assumption above and the numbers update live. Educational only — not investment advice.

The fair-value line is XYZ’s own median P/E, P/S, P/B and P/FCF applied to each year’s fundamentals — the price its typical valuation would have implied. Where the solid line sits above the dashed one, the stock traded at a premium to its own history that year; below, a discount. This is a description of past valuation, computed from XYZ’s filings and price history — not a forecast and not investment advice. A stock can trade above or below its own median for years.

How each row is counted: of the 4 tracked funds whose 25 largest 13F positions include XYZ, the number whose same list also includes that ticker. Funds, not shares or dollars, so one large position cannot outweigh several ordinary ones; a ticker needs at least 2 of them to appear. From each fund’s latest 13F-HR (quarter ended Jun 30, 2026 for 4), long US stock only, matched to tickers by issuer name, so a holding below a fund’s top 25 is not counted.

Of 19 sales in the last ~6 months, 19 were filed with the Rule 10b5-1 box checked, set up in advance under a written trading plan.

Drawn from 38 large US equity funds we scan, not every fund in existence, so a missing fund means we do not scan it rather than that it holds none. Holdings are joined to tickers by issuer name, which does not resolve every position; what that misses is published.
As of the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026. Every manager with $100 million or more in 13F securities (mostly US-listed stocks) files a 13F within 45 days of the quarter’s end; the counts compare each filer with its own filing the quarter before. Provisional: late filers for this quarter arrive in the SEC’s next file, so these counts can still rise.

Counted from the SEC’s Form 13F data sets, stock positions only (options and bonds excluded), with amendments applied. We count filers, never shares: a parent and its subsidiary can both report the same position, so a summed share total, or a “percent owned by institutions”, would overstate. What filers reported, not a signal to trade.
Size is which third of our universe’s market caps XYZ falls in. Style weighs cheapness (inverse P/E rank) against revenue growth: the clearly stronger signal decides, and a stock without a dominant one is Core. This is a filing-backed proxy for the full value/growth model — every boundary is a stated percentile you can check, not a proprietary score. Descriptive, not a recommendation.
2 of the 4 checks that ran found nothing new for XYZ; 2 found something.
Each event check looks back 30 days from the date its own source was stored, read or generated, never from the date this page was built. A check that finds nothing is a measurement of that window, not a forecast, and a check that cannot be dated does not make the claim at all.
Head office: Oakland, California, United States · the company’s charter and its head office are in different states.
Source: the cover page of Block, Inc.’s 10-Q filed 2026-08-05, on EDGAR. Filings checked 2026-10-28. Incorporation is where the company’s charter was filed. It is not where the business operates or earns, which no filing cover states. How this works
These two signals are 120 days apart. Form 4 is filed within two business days of the trade; 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end and describes positions as they stood on that date. Agreement between them is not confirmation — the funds may have moved months before the insiders did, or the other way round. Read them as two separate observations that happen to point the same way, never as one signal backing up another.
From SEC Form 4 and 13F filings. Both are backward-looking disclosures on different reporting clocks, and neither predicts price. Educational information only — not investment advice.

Downloads are requests to the npm registry, counted by npm per day and summed by month here, 2025-10-01 to 2026-10-31. They are not users, installs or revenue: most come from automated builds that fetch packages on every run, so the level says little and the trend across months is the readable part. Only libraries the company publishes itself are counted, each checked against npm’s record of its repository and maintainers. PyPI is not included yet: PyPI changed what its download logs count in late August 2026, and we have not yet checked a series that stays comparable across that date.

The estimators disagree by 184% of the midpoint. A wide band is itself the finding: this company’s value depends heavily on which yardstick you use, so treat any single number for XYZ — ours or anyone else’s — with corresponding caution.
The band is the interquartile range of every estimator that could run on XYZ’s filings: the median P/E, P/S, P/B and P/FCF this stock has actually traded at over 11 years of history applied to today’s fundamentals, a two-stage discounted-cash-flow estimate. With four or more estimators we take the interquartile range, so a single wild reading cannot define the band; with two or three we show the full spread, because trimming the tails off three points does not remove noise, it manufactures confidence. We publish a range rather than one number because the estimators genuinely disagree, and averaging that disagreement away would hide the most useful part.
Valuation labels describe only where the price sits against that band:
These labels are positional, not predictive. Premium means the current share price sits above the band computed from XYZ’s own filings and trading history. It does not mean the stock cannot keep rising, that a fall is expected, or that the market has it wrong. Equally, Discount means the price sits below that band — it does not imply the stock is cheap in any meaningful sense, that it is worth buying, or that the market has mispriced it. A company can trade above or below its own historical range for years, and often does, for reasons the range knows nothing about.
The labels describe where today’s price falls against a calculated band. Nothing more than that.
Measured disagreement is our answer to a locked “uncertainty rating”: it is simply how far the estimators spread as a share of the midpoint, tiered Low / Moderate / High / Extreme, with the raw spread shown beside it. A wide band earns a high tier because the answer then depends heavily on which yardstick you pick — that is a finding, not a defect.
Filing health is computed separately and never looks at price. It reads the Piotroski F-Score, the Altman Z-Score and the Beneish M-Score straight from the filings: means none of them flagged, means one moderate flag, means a distress or manipulation flag, or several softer ones. For banks and insurers it reads : all three scores were built on non-financial companies and their authors excluded financials, so for a balance-sheet business they measure the shape of the business rather than its health. Keeping the two axes apart is deliberate — a cheap company with weak filings is a very different object from a cheap company with sound ones, and a single blended verdict would hide which you are looking at.
This is a computed description of a security against a published formula — not investment advice, not a recommendation, and not a price target. Labels describe XYZ against the band above; they say nothing about whether it suits your circumstances. Historical multiples are not a forecast, and a company can stay outside its own historical range for years. Educational information only.
Why some estimators are skipped. A multiple can be arithmetically computable and still meaningless. GAAP depreciation crushes REIT earnings, so we do not price a REIT off P/E; revenue and free cash flow are not comparable measures for a bank or an insurer, so those are dropped too. We would rather show you the estimators we trust and name every one we withheld, with the reason, than quietly fold in a number we do not believe.
Every number above is arithmetic you can redo. The inputs are XYZ’s own SEC filings and our price history; the formulas are stated on this page. There is no proprietary black box, and there is nothing here you have to take on trust. How often the band rates a stock, and what we have not measured.
