Valuation

FCF yield (ttm)TTM free cash flow ÷ market cap — the inverse of P/FCF.: -3.26%2016-06 -1.2%2026-06 -2.9%+140.9% over the window
Dividend yield (fwd)Indicated forward annual dividend ÷ current price — the rate the company has announced, not what was actually paid over the past year.: 3.42%
Dividend/share (fwd): $2.98
Buyback yield (realized, 1y)1 − shares_at(2026-06-30) ÷ shares_at(2025-06-30) = 1 − 1.15B ÷ 1.10B. 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.: -4.58%
Shareholder yield (realized, 1y)Buyback leg + dividend leg: shares retired over the year (-4.58%) + dividends paid over that year ($3.1B) ÷ market_cap_at(2025-06-30) ($101B). Both legs are measured against the start of the window, so a payout can't shrink its own denominator.: -1.51%
Buyback yield (cash, ttm)Buybacks net of issuance over the trailing twelve months ($-4.2B) ÷ today's market cap ($100.3B). Dollars SPENT over what the company is worth NOW — a stock that fell after buying reads high.: -4.15%2016-06 -3.0%2026-06 -3.7%+23.5% over the window
