What it would cost to buy JBL
Enterprise value is what it would cost to take the whole company: every share at today’s price, plus the debt an acquirer assumes, less the cash they receive. For JABIL INC that is $31.76B.

Medians are taken across peers where the measure could be computed, so the sample differs by row. Green marks the direction conventionally read as cheaper or stronger — it is a direction, not a recommendation. * Price-based multiples move with the market; peer figures are a snapshot taken 2026-09-09. The remaining rows come from filed statements and hold until the next reporting season.
