Spectrum Brands Holdings free cash flow growth trends
Over the last five reported fiscal years, free cash flow declined from $246.2M to $165.3M, a compound annual decline of 7.66%. Spectrum Brands Holdings's latest reported quarter, Q3 2026, generated $73.5M in free cash flow, an increase of 2.37% 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 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.
