price/cash flow ratio
price/cash flow ratio definition - finance
The price of a stock divided by the expected cash flow
per share. The cash flow per share is typically calculated using EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization), but free cash flow and operating cash flow are
also used. This relative valuation technique focuses on a companyÂ’s cash flow
instead of earnings. Cash flow is typically less easily manipulated than
earnings.
