Why Cash Flow

The metric that matters most

Earnings Can Lie, Cash Can't

Accrual accounting allows management discretion. Operating cash flow strips away the noise and shows actual cash generated by the business.

Free Cash Flow

Operating cash flow minus capex. The real engine of shareholder value — the cash available for dividends, buybacks, debt reduction, or reinvestment.

Capital Allocation

See exactly how companies deploy their cash — investing in growth, returning to shareholders, or paying down debt. Reveals management priorities.
