Fundamental Analysis

Based strictly on the provided FUNDAMENTALS data:

• Trailing P/E: 42.30; Trailing EPS: 2.80; Market Cap: 22,987,884,920.00; Shares Out: 209,209,000.00.
• Dividend Yield: 0.27% (Rate 0.32, ex-date 2026-11-30); 52-week range: 70.50 to 177.28.
• Institutional ownership: 51.21%; Average volume: 1,418,000; Historical volatility: 37.24%.
• PEG, forward P/E, P/B, revenue, margins, ROE, D/E, FCF: null (not provided).
• Analyst consensus and target mean price: null (no embedded coverage).

Valuation at 42.30 trailing P/E is elevated vs typical broad-market peers, but no sector PEG for direct compare. Fundamentals show a large-cap with modest yield and majority institutional hold; lack of margin/return data limits confirmation of the steep recent price drop seen in technicals.
