Free Cash Flow / Market Cap × 100%Think of it as the "cash earnings yield" on your investment. High FCF yield vs history suggests the market may be undervaluing the company's real cash generation ability.
- FCF can be lumpy year-to-year due to irregular capex or working capital swings. Look at 3–5 year trends, not single-year readings.
- Businesses intentionally reinvesting for growth will show low or negative FCF yield by design — this metric is less useful for high-growth phase companies.
