Cash-flow margin stability, operating cash flow over revenue

One of the 64 measures in Stock Scorer, under Durability — How predictable is the revenue, and how much of it is already committed?

How it is worked out

Standard deviation of the annual operating cash flow ÷ revenue, in percentage points

The same steadiness test applied to cash rather than to margin. Every company reports cash flow, which is why this is the one stability measure a miner or a retailer also has.
