- **EV / EBITDA: 10.4×**. Enterprise value is 10.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 18.0%** (5-yr avg 11.1%). Free cash flow equals 18.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 11.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
