It is a valuation multiple: the numerator is the share price, and the denominator is cash flow per share. The calculator also derives cash flow yield, which is the inverse of P\/CF, and implied market capitalization, which is share price multiplied by shares outstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pcfr-formula\"\u003eCash flow per share = Cash flow ÷ Shares outstanding\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"pcfr-formula\"\u003eP\/CF = Price per share ÷ Cash flow per share\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe same ratio can be calculated at the company level as market capitalization divided by cash flow.

Enter the total amount for the reporting period, normally a trailing twelve-month or annual figure. The field accepts dollars, commas, spaces, and negative values. A higher positive cash-flow figure increases cash flow per share and lowers the P\/CF multiple, all else equal. A zero or negative cash-flow figure makes the conventional positive P\/CF interpretation unavailable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe most important choice is the cash-flow definition. Operating cash flow includes working-capital movements and excludes capital expenditure. Free cash flow usually subtracts capital expenditure, while free cash flow to equity may also reflect financing flows. Use one definition consistently when comparing companies.

A larger share count spreads the same company cash flow across more shares, reducing cash flow per share and increasing P\/CF at an unchanged price. A common mistake is mixing basic, diluted, weighted-average, and period-end share counts. Diluted shares are generally more conservative when stock options or convertible securities are material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice per share\u003c\/strong\u003e is required and cannot be negative. A higher price increases the ratio and lowers cash flow yield. For historical analysis, use the price from the same date as the market-cap comparison.
