Valuation

P/E (ttm)Price ÷ TTM diluted EPS. Net income carries everything below the operating line, including one-off gains. Negative when the trailing year lost money.

FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.

-12.48%

Dividend yield (fwd)Indicated annual dividend ÷ last close: the last regular payment × payments a year, from our own dividend record, not what was actually paid over the past year. Shown only when the record holds a full payment cycle that agrees with the dividends the company reports paying; otherwise —.

Dividend/share (fwd)

$1.92

Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-30) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-30) = 1 − 718.0M ÷ 705.4M. Point-in-time share counts from the company's own SEC filings (the same count at both ends), published only when the cash flow statement shows repurchases inside that window. A falling price can't inflate it; negative means net dilution.

-1.80%

Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-1.80%) + dividends paid over that year ($1.3B) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-30) ($15.5B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.

6.78%

Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($-226M) ÷ today's market cap ($13.8B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.
