Free Cash Flow per Share

    0.01 sec.
Free Cash Flow per Share
A measure of a company's financial flexibility. It is calculated as net income plus all non-cash expenses less dividends and capital expenditures. The total is then divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Notes:
This measure signals a company's ability to pay debt, pay dividends, buy back stock and facilitate the growth of business. When a firm's share price is low and free cash flow is on the rise, the odds are good that earnings and share value will soon be on the up.
