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.: 3.3×2016-12 11.782026-10 3.23-72.6% over the window

P/S (ttm)Market cap ÷ TTM revenue.: 0.4×2016-12 1.142026-10 0.39-65.5% over the window

EV/Sales (ttm): 0.2×
FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.: -2.19%
Dividend yield (fwd)Indicated annual dividend ÷ last close: the last regular payment × payments a year, from our own dividend record. Shown only for a company that pays the same amount each time (raises and cuts allowed), whose payments are on schedule and agree with the dividends it reports paying; a company whose payments vary in size, such as an unequal interim and final, has no forward figure — see the ttm yield.: 4.52%
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 when the record holds that full cycle and it agrees with the dividends the company reports paying; otherwise —.: 4.52%
Dividend/share (fwd)The indicated annual dividend: the last regular payment × payments a year, for a company that pays the same amount each time.: $1.80
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-30) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-30) = 1 − 191.4M ÷ 189.6M. 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.: -0.99%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-0.99%) + dividends paid over that year ($344M) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-30) ($6.6B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: 4.26%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($0) ÷ today's market cap ($7.6B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: 0.00%2016-09 5.8%2026-06 0.0%-100.0% over the window
Shareholder yield (cash, ttm)(TTM buybacks net of issuance $0 + TTM dividends $344M) ÷ today's market cap ($7.6B). Same caveat as the cash buyback yield.: 4.51%2016-09 7.3%2026-06 5.1%-30.4% over the window
