What is Free Cash Flow?
Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a measure of how much cash is available to a company after accounting for capital expenditures.
Free Cash Flow is a very important metric for investors, as it provides a good indication of how much money a company has to invest in itself.
Free Cash Flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from net income, and then adding back non-cash expenses like depreciation.
