Cash Flow Analysis

Purpose

Analyze a company's cash flow statement to evaluate the quality and sustainability of its cash generation. Distinguish between cash earned from operations, cash deployed in investing activities, and cash raised or returned through financing activities. Compute derived metrics including free cash flow, FCF margin, and cash conversion ratios to assess whether reported earnings translate into actual cash. Surface trends that reveal capital allocation priorities and long-term financial sustainability.
