Calculation and source
How free cash flow per share is calculated
TickerStat calculates free cash flow as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures, then divides it by basic weighted-average shares for the aligned fiscal period. Reliable filing-derived share counts are used when a filer omits the direct weighted-average-share fact. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
