What It Finds
Companies with a positive and low Price-to-FCF ratio (under 15), very low debt, and strong ROE — meaning they generate real free cash.
Why It Works
Free cash flow is harder to manipulate than reported profits. A company with P/FCF < 15 and low debt is genuinely cheap on the most reliable metric in financial analysis.

About Cash Flow Investing
Free cash flow is the most honest measure of business health in existence. Reported profits can be manipulated through accounting choices — depreciation methods, inventory valuation, revenue recognition timing, capitalising expenses. But actual cash in the bank account cannot be faked. When a company generates more free cash than it spends on capital investments, it is genuinely creating value — full stop.
Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow (P/FCF) below 12 means you're paying less than 12 years of current free cash generation for the entire business. By this measure, many 'expensive' growth stocks are actually cheap if their free cash conversion is high, while many 'cheap' cyclicals are expensive because their earnings don't convert to real cash.
