Dividend yield (fwd)Indicated forward annual dividend ÷ current price — the rate the company has announced, not what was actually paid over the past year.: 3.83%
Dividend/share (fwd): $4.43
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-05-31) ÷ shares_at(2025-05-31) = 1 − 355.7M ÷ 360.2M. 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.: 1.27%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (1.27%) + dividends paid over that year ($1.6B) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-05-31) ($56.9B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: 4.06%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($611M) ÷ today's market cap ($41.2B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: 1.48%2016-08 0.2%2026-05 1.7%+712.0% over the window
