How TTM stock-based compensation is measured

Trailing twelve months (TTM) stock-based compensation (SBC) is the dollar value of equity awards a company granted to employees over the most recent four fiscal quarters. It is a non-cash expense on the income statement (added back in the cash flow statement) but a very real economic cost — every dollar of SBC eventually dilutes existing shareholders or consumes cash through buybacks meant to offset that dilution.

SBC is concentrated at high-growth software, internet and biotech companies, where stock is a recruiting weapon and a way to keep GAAP costs off the headline. Read alongside buyback spend to see who actually offsets dilution, and free cash flow for the cash that funds it. Ranked in USD after period-average FX translation (IAS 21).
