Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is the cash a business generates from operations after accounting for capital expenditures needed to maintain or grow the asset base, commonly used as a measure of financial flexibility. In valuation and diligence, Free Cash Flow supports analyses like discounted cash flow (DCF) and helps assess whether a company can fund growth without additional financing.
