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.: 20.8×2016-12 38.662026-10 21.51-44.4% 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.: 15.5×2016-12 23.292026-10 15.47-33.6% over the window

P/B (mrq)Market cap ÷ stockholders' equity at the most recent quarter end.: 1.6×2016-12 2.492026-10 1.58-36.5% over the window
P/FCF (ttm)Market cap ÷ TTM free cash flow (operating cash flow − capex).: 9.5×
EV/EBITDA (fy): 13.1×
EV/Sales (ttm): 4.3×
FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.: 10.56%
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 when the record holds that full cycle and it agrees with the dividends the company reports paying; otherwise —.: 2.82%
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-30) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-30) = 1 − 61.8M ÷ 59.6M. 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.: -3.79%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-3.79%) + dividends paid over that year ($75.8M) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-30) ($2.7B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: -1.00%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($-97.1M) ÷ today's market cap ($2.9B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: -3.39%2016-09 0.1%2026-06 -3.2%-5483.7% over the window
Shareholder yield (cash, ttm)(TTM buybacks net of issuance $-97.1M + TTM dividends $75.8M) ÷ today's market cap ($2.9B). Same caveat as the cash buyback yield.: -0.74%2016-09 2.1%2026-06 -0.7%-134.1% over the window
