Owner Earnings Yield (Premium Plus)

Chartable: Yes

Unit: Percent

Owner earnings expressed as a percentage of market capitalization. Owner earnings are the Buffett-derived measure of true cash generation (net income plus depreciation minus maintenance capex and working capital changes). This yield version makes owner earnings directly comparable across companies of different sizes.

How to use it: When owner earnings yield exceeds the 10-year Treasury yield, equities may be attractive on a pure cash-return basis.
