A cross-check of 2002–2025 against stockanalysis.com shows the two sources broadly agree: most years differ by well under $1B, and the largest gap is $4.04B in 2025. Differences come from source methodology, share-count timing, or the trading date used. companiesmarketcap.com is used as the consistent primary series throughout.
