Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, Inc. (NYSE: NGVC), an SEC filer in Retail-Grocery Stores, closed at $27.48, +0.9%, on 2026-08-28, with a market cap of $633M, a trailing P/E of 13.7, a return on equity of 24.0%, a net margin of 3.5% and 3-year sales growth of 6.9%. Institutional ownership, earnings history and filed financials are on the tabs below.
Cash-flow figures use the latest fiscal year: this filer tags quarterly cash flows year-to-date only and the missing discrete quarters could not be derived (irregular fiscal quarters or a tagging change), so no four consecutive quarters exist to sum.
No four consecutive quarters could be summed for EPS (Diluted); these figures use the latest fiscal year, not a trailing twelve months.
Some figures named '(TTM)' on this payload are the latest FISCAL YEAR, not a trailing twelve months — eps_ttm (fiscal year ended 2025-09-30). No four consecutive quarters could be summed for them — for an IFRS 20-F filer that is every income-statement line (no quarterly income statement is tagged to EDGAR at all); for a US filer it is usually one line the quarterly tagging skips. Each field's own basis is on field_basis.

Not a forecast: each row re-prices today's filed earnings at a multiple this company itself once traded at. It abstains rather than guess on a loss year or a broken per-share basis.
Every month uses only what was filed by then, split-adjusted. Delisted names are absent and a trough year can throw one huge reading, so read the median, not the edges.
