There were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $43.20. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Six Months Ended
June 30, 2025
Risk-free interest rate4.01%
Expected volatility46%
Dividend yield0.88%
Expected term in years5

The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option from the date of the grant. Our assumption on expected volatility was based on our historical volatility. The dividend yield assumption was determined using our average stock price over the preceding year and the annualized amount of our most current quarterly dividend per share. We based our assumptions on the expected term of the options on our analysis of the historical exercise patterns of the options and our assumption on the future exercise pattern of options.
