- **EV / EBITDA: 11.9×**. Enterprise value is 11.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.9%** (5-yr avg 4.3%). Free cash flow equals 10.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 4.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
