Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Earnings Per Share
NOTE 13 — NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. Net earnings for all periods presented is attributable only to Class A common stockholders, due to no activity related to convertible preferred stock during those periods. All amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Stock Split for all periods presented.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the losses or income of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted net earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

The following table presents potentially dilutive securities, as of the end of the period, excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per share of Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:
