n/m: not meaningful — the base (the prior year, or the first year for the CAGR) was zero or negative, or a per-share figure’s share basis changed (stock split). “—” means the figure is not available.
Benchmark median = median of the companies in the benchmark universe on Dec 31 of each fiscal year, from their own 10-K filings; a change counts only companies whose prior year was positive. Each median uses every member that reports the line item; where fewer than 80% do (banks and insurers file no gross profit), the row names how many. Published where at least 250 companies report it. Updated 2026-10-27. This compares reported figures, not share-price returns. Methodology

Each ratio measures one thing two ways, in the same unit: the popular formula, then a stricter one, so a lower figure is the stricter reading. Gap = value-investor figure minus Wall Street figure, from the figures shown.
Price-based ratios use the fiscal-year-end closing price. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures (we compute it; filings rarely report it). n/m = not meaningful (denominator ≤ 0); “—” = not reported. Each ratio’s formulas are under “How it’s calculated”.
