Implied per-share price from private secondary transactions, as of Jun 2026. This is a point estimate, not a quote — the feed carries no bid, ask or spread, and a secondary print is evidence of what someone paid on that date rather than a live market. The feed’s last-round price for this company is not a plausible per-share figure, so no comparison is shown. Compare across every tracked name →
