Free cash flow yield is a good measure of the company’s cash flow in respect to the company’s size. Larger companies tend to have a higher cash flow yield, but it’s not always the case. The higher the free cash flow yield, the more cash the company is generating that can be quickly accessed to satisfy its obligations.

The higher the ratio, the more attractive the investment is as it suggests that investors are paying less for each unit of free cash flow.
