495- FROM THE VAULT: Understanding Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a key metric in value investing. It provides a more reliable view of a company’s financial health than its earnings, which can be influenced by creative accounting. By focusing on free cash flow, investors can identify financially solid companies with long-term potential and reduce reliance on speculation. As we close out 2024 and as InvestED nears its 500th episode, this week we’re looking back on an episode from very early in the show’s run.
