Dell Technologies free cash flow growth trends
Over the last five reported fiscal years, free cash flow declined from $9.32B to $8.55B, a compound annual decline of 1.72%. Dell Technologies's latest reported quarter, Q1 2027, generated $3.12B in free cash flow, an increase of 39.95% year over year.
What free cash flow means
Free cash flow is the cash a company generates from operations after capital expenditures. Positive FCF can fund dividends, buybacks, debt repayment, or reinvestment; negative FCF means capital spending exceeded operating cash flow for that period.
How free cash flow is calculated
TickerStat calculates free cash flow as SEC-reported operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. FCF margin equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so the tables include exact period-end dates.
