Stock Scorer

OE margin

(Free cash flow − stock comp) over revenue

One of the 64 measures in Stock Scorer, under Quality — How much of the revenue is really kept — and what did it take to earn it?

How it is worked out

(Operating cash flow − capital expenditure − share-based compensation) ÷ revenue × 100

Operating cash flow is the cash actually collected from running the business. Capital expenditure is cash spent on the equipment and property it needs. What is left is cash an owner could take out. Stock pay is deducted here because the cash flow statement adds it back as though it were free.
