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.

Data Modul AG's Forward Rate of Return (Yacktman) % for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2026 was -12.58%. The Forward Rate of Return uses the normalized Free Cash Flow of the past five years, and considers growth.

Data Modul AG  (FRA:DAM) Earnings Yield (Joel Greenblatt) % Explanation

Joel Greenblatt defines the earnings yield using the above equation because it more accurately reflects the company's profitability relative to its stock price. Items like interest payment and tax etc. are not directly related to the company's operational profitability.
