P/OCF Ratio
10.9
P/FCF Ratio
N/A
P/OCF measures market price relative to operating cash flow: market cap divided by TTM operating cash flow. OCF is cash from operations before capital expenditures, so it sits above free cash flow — P/OCF typically reads below P/FCF, with the widest gap for capex-heavy businesses.
