Joel Greenblatt's definition of earnings yield has the same problems the regular earnings yield does. It does not consider the growth of the company. It only looks at one-year's business operation. For cyclical companies, the earnings yield is usually highest at the peak of the business cycle. But these earnings are rarely sustainable.

Stolt-Nielsen's Forward Rate of Return (Yacktman) % for the quarter that ended in May. 2026 was 39.37%. The Forward Rate of Return uses the normalized Free Cash Flow of the past five years, and considers growth.
