Free Cash Flow CAGR:-11.09%(TTM)
Free cash flow CAGR uses precomputed cash-flow statement history.
Over longer horizons, Free Cash Flow CAGR averages 3.37% over 3 years and -2.87% over 5 years.The TTM figure compares the trailing 12 months (sum of the latest four quarters) with the 12 months before that. Rows in the history table compare fiscal years, and the quarterly table compares single quarters; the three measure different windows and will differ. Free cash flow CAGR measures how the company's cash generation has grown. FCF represents the cash available for dividends, buybacks, debt reduction, or reinvestment.
