FCF yield
Free Cash Flow Yield
Valuation RatiosFree cash flow per share divided by the share price, or firm-level free cash flow divided by market cap. It shows the cash return the business generates on its current price.
Formula
FCF Yield = Free Cash Flow / Market Cap
Why it matters
Earnings are an opinion; free cash flow is closer to fact. A healthy FCF yield indicates the valuation is supported by actual cash generation, not just accounting profit.
