Per Share

What is free cash flow per share?

Free cash flow spread over each share: what a share earned in real cash after the business paid to maintain itself.

How it is calculated

Free cash flow divided by diluted weighted average shares, or shares outstanding when the filing reports no diluted count.

How to read it

Compare it with diluted EPS. Cash per share that lags earnings per share for years means profits are not turning into cash.

Where the numbers come from

Scrutar computes free cash flow per share from the figures each company reports to the SEC in its annual and quarterly filings, using the XBRL data attached to those filings.
