What is FSTR's P/E ratio?

Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
