Data & methodology
Where do buyback, dividend and compensation figures come from?
Cash buyback spend (common stock repurchased), dividends paid and stock-based compensation come from McGrath RentCorp's consolidated cash flow statements — quarterly 10-Q and annual 10-K SEC filings, in USD as reported.
