Dividend yield (fwd)Indicated forward annual dividend ÷ current price — the rate the company has announced, not what was actually paid over the past year.

Dividend/share (fwd)

$2.94

Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-03-31) ÷ shares_at(2025-03-31) = 1 − 221.8M ÷ 240.6M. 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.

7.79%

Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (7.79%) + dividends paid over that year ($682M) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-03-31) ($83.1B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.

8.61%

Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($9.1B) ÷ today's market cap ($94.7B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.
