What this metric measures
Free cash flow yield is a company's annual free cash flow divided by its market capitalisation. A company worth $10 billion that generated $800 million of free cash yields 8%. Unlike accounting profit it measures cash actually left in hand, which filters out companies that report earnings without generating cash.
How we calculate it
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditure, divided by market capitalisation. Companies without cash flow statement data are excluded.
Limitations of this list
Free cash flow swings with the capital expenditure cycle. It turns negative in heavy investment years and looks artificially strong when investment is deferred, so a single year can make an under-investing company appear healthy.
Frequently asked questions
What free cash flow yield indicates a cheap stock?
Start by comparing it to the government bond yield. With a 10-year yield of 3%, an 8% FCF yield implies a 5 percentage point risk premium. Above 5% is generally treated as cheap relative to cash generation, though companies with no growth also screen well.
How is FCF yield different from dividend yield?
Dividend yield counts cash actually paid out; FCF yield counts cash available to pay out. When FCF yield sits well above dividend yield, the company has room to raise the dividend or buy back shares.
Is negative free cash flow a bad sign?
Not necessarily. Companies investing heavily in capacity or R&D routinely post negative free cash flow. The concern is persistent negative free cash flow without that investment. This ranking only surfaces companies with positive free cash flow.
