- **Price / book: 1.9×**. The shares trade at 1.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 1.7×**. Enterprise value is 1.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.9%** (5-yr avg -1.1%). Free cash flow equals 1.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of -1.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
