#6NEXTCapital Formation·Treasury & Capital Strategy·5X: Capital Value

Capital Allocation Engine — Buybacks vs. M&A vs. Deleveraging

Free cash flow yield is 7.3% ($15.2B on a $206.2B market cap) versus a 0.8% implied cost of debt and 10.4% ROIC (peer median 23.5%). At this yield, repurchases, deleveraging and acquisitions compete for the same dollar; Token Clear ranks each use of cash on modeled per-share value and risk rather than defaulting to one answer.
