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.
No trend data available for this metric.
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.
Solve the discounted cash flow backwards, then stress-test the assumptions.
The same 1 year as the 3-yr average, with the stock compensation of those years charged as a cost. Shares issued to employees are real dilution, so this asks what the business generates for existing holders.
On the SBC-adjusted basis free cash flow is -$110.8M — there is nothing left to discount once stock compensation is charged, so no growth rate can be solved for. The 3-yr avg basis gives $138.3M over those same years — the whole difference is the stock compensation.

Central path = implied —/yr growth; shaded band = ±1σ (323%) of this company's historical FCF volatility, widening with time. The wider the band, the less certain the growth.

Ranked against 25 sector peers with collected financials. Valuation from latest close × latest fiscal-year fundamentals; 13F conviction as of 2026-06-30.
Percentile is “goodness” within the peer set (100 = best). For valuation and leverage that means cheaper / less-levered ranks higher.

What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
Free-cash-flow coverage unavailable. Last year: $505.1M dividends + $686.5M buybacks = $1.19B returned on -$3.37B FCF.

How management deployed cash over 10 years — and what it earned on reinvestment.
A cash-return story — far more went to shareholders than back into the business (mature, low-reinvestment).
Reinvestment has been productive — operating income grew well per dollar put in. Current ROIC on all capital: 11%. 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.

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).

The metrics that matter, over time
A 30-second read on CG: 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 $1.97B (at 2025-12-31) covers all $132.2M of scheduled principal — no refinancing pressure. Scheduled principal only (excludes interest & revolver draws). As of 2017-06-30 (10-Q). The cash figure is from 2025-12-31, so the two are not the same balance-sheet date — the schedule has not been refiled since.

Return on equity (11%) and return on invested capital (11%) 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.
$105M of goodwill — 2% of invested capital. The gap is what was paid above the fair value of what was bought; it is real capital shareholders provided, so neither bar is the whole answer.
Net margin is 1691.91% against 2759.82% 3 years ago — a step down the business has not recovered, whatever the spread says today.
Free cash flow has fallen short of reported profit in 3 of the last three years.
Reported free cash flow is -$3.37B; after share-based compensation it is -$3.75B. The difference is a real cost that the cash flow statement adds back.
No debt, so there is no leverage path to distress.
This schedule comes from a filing dated 2017-06-30, 3385 days old. Maturities are shown relative to that date, not to today.
Ladder as of 2017-06-30 (10-Q); cash from the 2025-12-31 balance sheet; FCF from FY2025. Free cash flow is negative, so projected resources fall rather than accumulate.
Balance sheet at 2025-12-31. Undrawn revolving credit is not shown: the tag is collected but not yet mapped through to the API.
Cash burn, not leverage, is the risk for a debt-free company — see question 2 for cash conversion.
Once stock compensation is charged, free cash flow averages -$111M over the last 1 year — there is nothing left to discount, so no growth rate can be solved for. Before the charge it averages $138M.
No material counter-signal in the checked set: reverse-DCF implied growth, historical FCF CAGR, per-year FCF growth distribution, reporting-basis breaks, discount rate used, free-cash-flow basis (stock comp charged?).

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.
