Valuation

FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.: 6.54%2016-10 9.3%2026-08 5.8%-38.2% over the window
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-08-02) ÷ shares_at(2025-08-03) = 1 − 59.0M ÷ 59.0M. 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.: 0.01%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (0.01%) + dividends paid over that year ($0) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-08-03) ($1.2B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: 0.01%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($0) ÷ today's market cap ($1.7B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: 0.00%2016-10 0.0%2026-08 0.0%
Shareholder yield (cash, ttm)(TTM buybacks net of issuance $0 + TTM dividends $0) ÷ today's market cap ($1.7B). Same caveat as the cash buyback yield.: 0.00%2016-10 0.0%2026-08 0.0%
