      Price to Cash flow is an often used parameter when it comes to studying the fundamentals of a company. A Cash Flow is a representation of selected numerical values from a company’s financial statements. Financial ratios help in deciding the financial valuation of the company. There are a lot of ratios such as PE Ratio, Net profit margin, interest coverage ratio etc. used for valuation analysis of a company. Lets understand Price to cash flow ratio.

      Watch the video below on Everything you want to know about Price to Cash Flow ratio:

      What is Price to Cash Flow?

      Price/cash-flow represents the amount an investor is willing to pay for a rupee generated from a particular company’s operations. Price/cash-flow shows the ability of a business to generate cash and acts as an assurance of liquidity and solvency. Because accounting conventions differ among nations, reported earnings (and P/E ratios) may not be comparable across national boundaries. Price/cash-flow attempts to provide an internationally standard measure of a firm’s stock price relative to its financial performance. It also helps an investor in identifying overvalued and undervalued stocks.

      Impact of Price to Cash Flow Ratio

      This is used by investors to evaluate the attractiveness of investing in a company’s shares. This ratio considers cash flows only and removes the effect of non cash items like depreciation. This ratio is preferred by investors since it is difficult to manipulate the cash figures as compared to earnings figures. It is especially useful for valuing stocks that have positive cash flow but are not profitable due to large non cash charges. Thus it is more preferred over PE Ratio by analysts and investors because some companies appear unprofitable due to large non-cash expenses despite having positive cash flow.

      See also: What is Cash Flow?

      Exceptions

      The amount to be received for cash sales of the current period might be received the next year. Hence when it comes to calculation, the figure does not show the correct representation at times as compared to actual sales/purchases. There is no single figure which points the optimal price to cash flow but a lower figure generally indicates the stock is undervalued and a higher figure generally suggest it is overvalued.

      Price to Cash Flow Formula

      Price to Cash Flow= Share Price/Operating Cash Flow per share.

      Suppose a company‘s market price is Rs 50. The operating cash flow is 20 crores and the number of shares is 2 crores. Hence the operating cash flow per share= 20/2=10. Therefore Price to cash flow per share= 50/10= 5.
