Steris Plc · Historical ratios
33 stored series for STE, each charted against this company's own record and against its share price. Every series states its own basis and its own source rather than leaving you to assume one.
Each point is the vendor's own calculation for that fiscal period, not one number recomputed backwards from today. Percent metrics are served in percent points, so 15.4 means 15.4 percent; the unit is published beside every series.
Return on equityServed
Net income over shareholders equity. A year whose opening or closing equity is at or below zero is charted but left out of the average, median and standing, because a return over an equity that crosses zero is arithmetic, not a return.Each point is read from the vendor's calculations statement for that fiscal year. · The vendor publishes this ratio for the fiscal period itself, so the series is the vendor's own figure for each year rather than one number recomputed backwards from today. A year where the vendor filed a zero that its own statements or its own figures for that year contradict is left blank, and is worked out from the filed statements where a measured formula exists. · Per-share figures on this page are shown as filed. The split adjusted series we hold for this company does not cover every year in the window, so using it would put two share bases in one column. Each year instead carries the share count that year was reported on, and years either side of a change in that count are not directly comparable. · Revenue, net income, diluted earnings per share, free cash flow and the diluted share count are read from this company's annual income and cash flow statements, one filed figure per fiscal year. The dividend per share is summed from our dividend record by ex-dividend date over the same periods, with no share count divided. · The sector percentile ranks this company against each peer's newest period in the SAME family, so a quarterly row is never ranked against a fiscal year cross-section.
Peers on the same metric
Return on equity · FY25 to FY26Every line is drawn on the same metric, the same fiscal-year axis and the same basis as this company's own; a comparator that could not meet all three is named above rather than quietly rescaled. · Chosen nearest by market capitalization within the sector cohort · 400 in the cohort, up to 6 drawn
One comparator was left out: GH, which has no stored value for this metric in the shown periods.

Percent metrics are served in percent points, so 15.4 means 15.4 percent; the unit is published beside every series. · The per share flag marks a metric that is ALREADY expressed per share; the diluted share count series is in this payload so a dollar total can be divided by it without a second call.
Price against its own valuation band
The valuation band needs at least 5 fiscal years of price to book on one basis, and this view shows 2. It appears at a depth that reaches them.
Where the seven year return came from
Fiscal 2019 year end to fiscal 2026 year end, 7 years. Price only, before dividends.- Profit growthNet income $305M to $785M2.58x173%
- More sharesDiluted count 85M to 98M, weighted average, split adjusted0.87x−26%
- Lower multipleMarket value over net income, 35.5x to 27.5x0.77x−47%
- Dividends28 payments, $13.27 per share+10%
The bar shows the size of each contribution. Striped segments worked against the move, so the others add to more than one hundred percent.
Profits actually growing pushed the price up over these 7 years, while the share count rising and investors paying a lower multiple pulled the other way.
Cash returned, not reinvested. No compounding is assumed.
Built from filed net income, the diluted weighted average share count and the share price at each fiscal year end. The multiple is market value over net income, so it does not depend on a per share basis. The three drivers multiply to the price change exactly, and their shares are allocated on a log basis so they add to one hundred. Dividends are stated separately as cash returned and are not reinvested. Describes the record, not an expectation.
What this page does not claim
- There is no return on capital employed here. The vendor computes none, so this library publishes none rather than relabelling a neighbouring ratio as one. The Greenblatt return on capital shown elsewhere in this product is a different convention, not the same figure under another name, and return on common equity is served under the vendor's own tag name with its basis stated on the series.
- Interest coverage is not in this library. The vendor's own coverage field is documented unreliable and is excluded from scoring; the only coverage series this product charts anywhere is the corrected one we derive from the statements, and it ships with the statement lines rather than here.
- Some points on this page are not the vendor's own. A hollow point marked Tenet-derived is one the vendor published no value for: this product worked it out from the filed statements, or, for net debt to EBITDA, as the quotient of the vendor's own net debt and EBITDA figures. Every other point is the vendor's own figure.
- Gated years are shown, not hidden. The years beyond your tier keep their place on every axis and in every table row, and the values behind them are never sent to the browser at all, so the shape of the record is visible before anyone pays for it.
