Silicon Laboratories free cash flow growth trends
Over the last five reported fiscal years, free cash flow declined from $117.6M to $65.8M, a compound annual decline of 10.97%. Silicon Laboratories's latest reported quarter, Q2 2026, generated −$26.8M in free cash flow, a decrease of $23.0M 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.
