Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement answers: Is the company generating real cash?

Sections

  • Cash from operations (CFO): Cash from core business activity
  • Cash from investing (CFI): Capex, acquisitions, investments
  • Cash from financing (CFF): Debt, dividends, buybacks, equity issuance

Tip

Compare net income to CFO. Big gaps can signal working-capital swings or accounting effects.
