Rising FCF
Consistently increasing free cash flow per share (FCF per share) reflects a company’s growing ability to generate cash on a per-share basis, indicating improved profitability and financial efficiency. In the Nifty 500 index, we highlight the top five companies that have consistently increased their free cash flow per share (FCF) each year for the past five years, excluding any companies that reported negative FCF during this period, based on Cash Flow Scans from StockEdge.com. It suggests that the company is not only generating more cash but also creating greater value for shareholders. This metric is particularly important for investors, as it signals a company’s capacity to fund growth, reduce debt, or return capital to shareholders through dividends or buybacks, all while maintaining strong operational performance.
