Everyone who is an investor should learn all this stuff. But when actually looking for a stock just stick to two or three metrics, or you will be over-whelmed.

Adjusted EBITDA 🆚 Free Cash FlowFree Cash Flow is all what matters in the endI'll explain everything in less than 2 minutes1️⃣ What is free cash flow?The free cash flow of a company is equal to all the cash that enters a company minus all the cash that leaves a company over a certain period.You can calculate it as follows:Free cash flow = operating cash flow - CAPEXThe operating cash flow measures the amount of cash generated by a company’s normal business operations.The capital expenditures (CAPEX) show how much money a company has used to maintain or buy physical assets.2️⃣ What can a company do with its FCF?The company can do different things with its free cash flow:▪️ Reinvest for organic growth▪️ Pay down debt▪️ Acquisitions and takeovers (M&A)▪️ Paying out dividends▪️ Buying back shares3️⃣ FCF MarginThis metric indicates how much cash a company is generating per dollar in sales.FCF margin = (free cash flow/sales)Visa for example has a free cash flow margin of 60.2%.This means that for every $100 in sales, Visa generates $60.2 in pure cash.4️⃣ FCF > Net IncomeEarnings are an opinion, cash is a fact.While earnings are an accounting metric, free cash flow looks at the money that actually entered and left the firm over a certain period.5️⃣ FCF ConversionThe more earnings are translated into. FCF, the better.FCF Conversion = (free cash flow / net earnings)Seek for companies with a FCF conversion of at least 85%.6️⃣ Free cash flow yieldThe free cash flow yield (FCF Yield) of a company is a great way to look at the valuation of a company.Free cash flow yield = (Free cash flow per share/ stock price)The higher this ratio, the cheaper the stock.____💡 Did you like this?
