The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

kicks off over $1B of FCF that historically goes towards buybacks. Currently they're going through a cap ex cycle so not enough cash for major repurchases, but end of next year company signaled that will return to more meaningful buybacks.

Looks like free cash flow is down every year since 2020. Is there a catalyst you see coming that will stop that trend?
