Online Research » Eta Analysis » MacroRisk Factor - Corporate Cash Flow
The Corporate Cash Flow is the measure of cash, in billions of dollars, that United States corporations have available to give to their investors and debt holders after investing back in the company. In other words, this is the amount of net income after taxes, plus depreciation and amortization charges, minus investments necessary to keep the company running. This "free cash flow" is measured in chained dollars, which adjusts for inflation. This statistic is released each quarter, and is seasonally adjusted at annual rates.
