- **EV / EBITDA: 9.2×**. Enterprise value is 9.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.7%** (5-yr avg 7.2%). Free cash flow equals 4.7% of the market value, below its five-year average of 7.2%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
