How buyback yield is measured
Buyback yield is trailing-twelve-month buyback spend divided by current market capitalization, expressed as a percentage. It answers a different question than absolute spend: how much value is the company returning relative to the equity capital outstanding today. A small-cap retiring 6% of its float is doing more for per-share economics than a mega-cap retiring 1.5%, even if the dollars are smaller.
Pair with shareholder yield (buybacks plus dividends) for the full capital-return picture, and buyback spend for absolute scale. Both numerator (buybacks in USD) and denominator (market cap) use IAS 21 closing-rate translation so non-USD reporters rank on a comparable basis.
