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.

X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE's Forward Rate of Return (Yacktman) % for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2026 was 4.63%. The Forward Rate of Return uses the normalized Free Cash Flow of the past five years, and considers growth.
