At $170.66 (closing price, November 2, 2026), NTRS trades at a P/E of 13.37 and an ROE of 18.41%. Market capitalisation stands at $30.9B, placing it among large-cap names.

Balance sheet quality for NTRS: debt-to-equity ratio of 1.19, current ratio of 0.77 over the last 12 months, net cash position of $47.35B at the end of the last fiscal year. A debt-to-equity below 1.0 typically signals conservative capital structure, while a current ratio above 1.5 indicates comfortable short-term liquidity.

Cash flow quality is strong: free cash flow of $5.46B represents 314% conversion of reported net income. High conversion (above 90%) suggests earnings translate cleanly into cash; lower conversion may indicate working capital tightness or accounting timing differences.
