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 —.: 0.52%
Dividend yield (ttm)Dividends paid over the last year ÷ last close: the last full cycle of regular payments in our own dividend record. Below the forward yield after a raise, above it after a cut. Shown only where the forward yield is; otherwise —.: 0.52%

Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-07-05) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-29) = 1 − 168.2M ÷ 167.9M. 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.: -0.19%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-0.19%) + dividends paid over that year ($56.1M) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-29) ($5.3B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: 0.87%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($154.2M) ÷ today's market cap ($10.9B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: 1.41%2016-10 0.3%2026-07 1.3%+268.2% over the window
