What is Cash Flow Per Share

It means current company’s cash flow on hand. It’s always use to measure of a company’s financial strength. However, some profitable companies may not have strong cash flow, it’s because the business is sell their goods on credit. :)

For Example,

The COMP-A company has $3,000,000 cash flow and total shares issued to public is 10,000,000,000. The Cash Flow Per Share will be $3,000,000 / 10,000,000,000 = $0.0003.

P.S We can have both company’s cash flow and total shares issued figure in the company annual report

How to Calculate Cash Flow Per Share

Cash Flow Per Share = Company’s Cash Flow / Number of shares outstanding

Company’s Cash Flow = Current company’s cash on hand

Number of shares outstanding = Total shares issued to public
