Temporary Equity Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests [Text Block] REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
    The holders of equity interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have rights (“Put Rights”) that may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company to purchase their equity interests through fiscal 2034. The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for their equity interests (the “Redemption Amount”) be at fair value or at a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period. The Redemption Amounts were determined using probability-adjusted internal estimates of future subsidiary earnings while considering the earliest exercise date, the measurement period and any applicable fair value adjustments. Management's estimate of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company could be required to pay is as follows (in thousands):
As of October 31,
20252024
Redeemable at fair value $356,850 $306,143 
Redeemable based on a multiple of future earnings110,508 60,013 
Redeemable noncontrolling interests$467,358 $366,156
