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.: -6.4×2016-09 27.772026-09 -6.43-123.2% over the window
P/OI (ttm)Price ÷ TTM operating income. Excludes the below-the-line items that make P/E jump — mark-to-market gains, settlements, tax true-ups.: 9.0×2016-09 11.932026-09 -5.82-148.7% over the window

P/FCF (ttm)Market cap ÷ TTM free cash flow (operating cash flow − capex).: 3.7×2016-09 57.212026-09 3.66-93.6% over the window

Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-30) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-30) = 1 − 494.0M ÷ 491.1M. 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.: -0.58%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-0.58%) + dividends paid over that year ($0) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-30) ($26.7B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: -0.58%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($-2M) ÷ today's market cap ($32.8B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: -0.01%2016-06 0.6%2026-06 -0.0%-101.0% over the window
