How management deployed cash over 10 years — and what it earned on reinvestment.
A balanced mix of reinvestment and shareholder returns.
Modest payoff on reinvested capital. Current ROIC on all capital: 9%. 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 much the company owes, how it's trended, and how comfortably it's serviced.
Cash of $283.0M is below the $1.22B due within a year — relies on refinancing or operating cash flow. Scheduled principal only (excludes interest & revolver draws). As of 2026-07-03 (10-Q). The cash figure is from 2026-04-03, so the two are not the same balance-sheet date — the schedule has not been refiled since.
Green ≤ 1.5× · amber ≤ 3× · red > 3× (leverage relative to cash earnings).
Coverage is adequate but not comfortable. Effective rate ~6.9% on $8.20B of debt.
Cash of $283.0M fully covers short-term debt of $181.0M.
Mostly long-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.
What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
The dividend is comfortably covered — only 20% of free cash flow, leaving room to grow it and fund buybacks. Last year: $312.0M dividends + $634.0M buybacks = $946.0M returned on $1.52B FCF.

Source: SEC EDGAR XBRL filings (annual, fiscal year). Quarterly flow items are derived from cumulative filings; balance-sheet figures are as-of each period end. Ratios and margins are computed, not reported.
Solve the discounted cash flow backwards, then stress-test the assumptions.
Average free cash flow across the last 3 positive fiscal years (FY2024, FY2025, FY2027). Smooths the cycle. Stock compensation is NOT charged — it is added back inside operating cash flow.
To be worth $29.13 today, the market must believe free cash flow compounds 4.6%/yr for a decade (off $1.59B on the 3-yr avg basis).
On the basis ($1.42B) the requirement is 6.1%/yr. Shares issued to employees are added back in operating cash flow, so this basis treats them as free.
The market's 4.6% is more conservative than its 8-yr track record.
Default is the published 10.0% — this company's own cost of capital could not be computed.

Central path = implied 4.6%/yr growth; shaded band = ±1σ (106%) 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.
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.

DuPont — the three levers
ROE 37% against ROIC 9% — 28% of the return on equity comes from leverage and buybacks rather than from the operating business.
Equity is the year-end figure. On average equity over the two year-ends, ROE is 39.9% — the two diverge when buybacks or issuance move equity during the year.

The metrics that matter, over time
A 30-second read on GEN: price, valuation and headline fundamentals from SEC filings. The four questions at the top of the page are where the judgements live.
Cash conversion and accruals. The full answer — share-based compensation, the cash conversion waterfall, working-capital trend — is still being built, so this block states what it measures rather than issuing a verdict.
One year is not a trend. The spec asks for a 3- and 5-year average of FCF/net income precisely because a single year turns on working-capital timing, and that arrives with the full Q2 block.
