Formula: FCF Payout Ratio TTM = trailing 4Q dividends paid / trailing 4Q free cash flow × 100
FCF payout and earnings payout:
- FCF represents operating cash flow after capital expenditures
- FCF payout compares dividends paid with free cash flow
- FCF payout above 100% means dividends paid exceeded free cash flow for the period
- Earnings payout compares dividends paid with net income
Reading the series: Use the chart and table to compare dividend payments with cash generation over time.
