Total shares institutions bought (green) vs sold (red) each quarter across all holders.
Inferred from quarter-over-quarter change in each fund's 13F position (new stakes count as buys, exits as sells). Not tick-level trades.
What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
The dividend is comfortably covered — only 28% of free cash flow, leaving room to grow it and fund buybacks. Last year: $220.0M dividends + $1.32B buybacks = $1.54B returned on $788.0M FCF.
1 consecutive years of dividend increases · 13%/yr.
Yields use the latest fiscal-year dividends/buybacks over current market cap. Dividends and buybacks from the SEC cash-flow statement; payout coverage vs net income and free cash flow. Educational — not a recommendation.
How management deployed cash over 10 years — and what it earned on reinvestment.
A reinvestment story — most cash went back into growth rather than to shareholders.
Insufficient data. Current ROIC on all capital: 17%. Rough measure (includes maintenance capex).
Cash uses aggregated from the SEC cash-flow statement over 10 fiscal years. "Return on reinvestment" is a rough proxy — operating-income change ÷ cumulative CapEx + M&A — and includes maintenance capex. Educational — not a recommendation.

DuPont — the three levers
ROE 17% against ROIC 17% — 0% of the return on equity comes from leverage and buybacks rather than from the operating business.

Latest year: profit growth vs revenue growth
Operating leverage needs meaningful revenue change.

The metrics that matter, over time
A 30-second read on BALL: price, valuation and headline fundamentals from SEC filings. The four questions at the top of the page are where the judgements live.
How much the company owes, how it's trended, and how comfortably it's serviced.
Cash of $1.21B covers the $4.0M due within a year 303.0× over. Scheduled principal only (excludes interest & revolver draws). As of 2025-12-31 (10-K).
Green ≤ 1.5× · amber ≤ 3× · red > 3× (leverage relative to cash earnings).
Interest expense isn't separately reported — often netted into “other income (expense), net.” Effective rate ~1495.2% on $21.0M of debt.
Cash of $1.21B fully covers short-term debt of $21.0M.
Mostly short-term debt (balance-sheet current vs non-current split). See the maturity ladder above for the year-by-year repayment schedule.
Debt, cash, interest and equity from the SEC balance sheet & income statement. Effective rate = interest ÷ average debt. Maturity ladder from the SEC long-term-debt repayment schedule. Educational — not a recommendation.
Solve the discounted cash flow backwards, then stress-test the assumptions.
Average free cash flow across the last 2 positive fiscal years (FY2023, FY2025). Smooths the cycle. Stock compensation is NOT charged — it is added back inside operating cash flow.
To be worth $60.43 today, the market must believe free cash flow compounds 5.4%/yr for a decade (off $803.0M on the 3-yr avg basis).
On the basis ($772.5M) the requirement is 5.9%/yr. Shares issued to employees are added back in operating cash flow, so this basis treats them as free.
The market's 5.4% is more optimistic than its 8-yr track record.
Default is 9.4% — this company's computed cost of capital (computed WACC), the same rate the Analysis tab discounts at.
2-stage DCF · 0.26B shares (market data) · net debt -$1.19B
mean -727.2% · volatility σ 1639% · implied rate exceeded in 1/6 yrs
Central path = implied 5.4%/yr growth; shaded band = ±1σ (1639%) of this company's historical FCF volatility, widening with time. The wider the band, the less certain the growth.
Reverse DCF: rather than guessing a fair value, we solve for the growth the current price implies, then you stress-test the assumptions. Enterprise value of the FCF stream, less net debt, ÷ shares. Educational — not a recommendation.

How a revenue dollar becomes profit — FY2025
Dividends and buybacks are cash paid out, shown here against the same year's profit for scale — not funded from it. This year they exceeded net income, so the ribbons are capped at earnings and understate what was actually returned.
Each value shows its share of revenue below it (common-size).

Total return (dividends reinvested) vs the market, from quarter-end prices.
Above 0 = ahead of the S&P 500 since the window start; below 0 = behind. Rising means it's pulling ahead.
How far the stock fell below its prior peak. Deeper, longer drawdowns = a rougher ride to the same return.
Quarter-end, dividend-adjusted (total return). Beta & volatility from quarterly returns (annualized). Benchmark is the S&P 500 (SPY total return). Annual returns compound the quarters ending in each calendar year; the first and last years in a window may be partial. Past performance doesn't predict future results.
Return on equity (17%) and return on invested capital (17%) are within a couple of points in FY2025, so the headline return is the operating return — there is no meaningful leverage effect to strip out.
Cash conversion of 0.02x sits below the level that would make the earnings clearly cash-backed.

At $59.56, free cash flow must compound 5.55%/yr for 10 years. It has done -3.07%/yr over 6 years, though across a reporting-basis change.
| Fiscal year | FCF growth | Price requires |
|---|---|---|
| FY2020 | −66.4% | 5.6% |
| FY2021 | −89.3% | 5.6% |
| FY2022 | −4070.6% | 5.6% |
| FY2024 | −145.1% | 5.6% |
The achieved growth rate spans a reporting-basis change in FY2022, so part of it measures the restatement rather than the business.
SBC is added back inside operating cash flow, so reported free cash flow treats shares issued to employees as free. Percent of revenue says how expensive the payroll is; percent of operating cash flow says how much of the cash exists only because the charge was added back. The buyback offset is buybacks over SBC — below 1.0 the repurchase does not cover the shares issued.
Figures are the latest fiscal year (FY2025) from the company's own filings, not a trailing-twelve-month window — Q2 reads fiscal years throughout so the cash-conversion ratios and these share one basis. A blank is a line the filer did not report; it is never read as zero.
