We recognized compensation expense for stock options of $1.8 million and $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was zero and $0.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had $6.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options that we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $44.76. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2025
Risk-free interest rate4.01%
Expected volatility47%
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.
