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.: 6.0×2016-12 17.482026-10 5.57-68.1% over the window

EV/Sales (ttm): 2.7×
FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.: -9.72%
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.: 2.38%
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 —.: 2.38%
Dividend/share (fwd)The indicated annual dividend: the last regular payment × payments a year, for a company that pays the same amount each time.: $0.52
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-30) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-30) = 1 − 187.9M ÷ 208.5M. 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.: 9.86%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (9.86%) + dividends paid over that year ($103.2M) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-30) ($6.8B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: 11.37%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($561.1M) ÷ today's market cap ($4.1B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: 13.69%2016-09 0.0%2026-06 11.5%
Shareholder yield (cash, ttm)(TTM buybacks net of issuance $561.1M + TTM dividends $103.2M) ÷ today's market cap ($4.1B). Same caveat as the cash buyback yield.: 16.21%2016-09 0.4%2026-06 13.6%+3008.7% over the window
