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.: 248.2×2016-12 -9.122026-10 260.26-2954.8% 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.: 437.1×2016-12 -30.642026-10 437.06-1526.4% over the window

FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.: -1.60%2020-12 0.3%2026-06 -1.4%-630.0% over the window
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-28) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-29) = 1 − 187.7M ÷ 168.8M. 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.: -11.25%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-11.25%) + dividends paid over that year ($0) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-29) ($7B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: -11.25%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($-1.3B) ÷ today's market cap ($8B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: -16.77%2016-09 0.0%2026-06 -14.4%
Shareholder yield (cash, ttm)(TTM buybacks net of issuance $-1.3B + TTM dividends $0) ÷ today's market cap ($8B). Same caveat as the cash buyback yield.: -16.77%2016-09 0.0%2026-06 -14.4%
