The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 29.5x, above the North American healthcare average of 24.5x, implying a premium for its earnings. However, it remains far below the peer average P/E of 79.2x, indicating relative restraint within its group. The company posted CA$96.66 million net income on CA$1.66 billion revenue, with a 5.8% net margin and 25.9% return on equity.
