cash flow

Ratios such as those suggested here should help evaluate cash flows for business entities.

However, Fitch also believes there are credible outcomes in which the annual cash flow may be insufficient to fully satisfy the annual obligations under the credit facilities.

FAS 95 requires that a statement of cash flows should classify cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing or financing activities.

In practice, some netting of cash flows occurs in preparing cash flow statements.

Perhaps the most important number on the cash flow statement is the cash flow from operating activities, also called operating cash flows or cash from operations.

The valuation courses I took in grad school also focused on discounted cash flow models.

The broad range of stochastic prices is the consequence of the broad range of likely lifetimes and the fact that the present value of cash flows decreases rapidly as lifetime until death increases.

This will decrease the net cash flow and therefore reduce the return on the investment.

The statement goes on to explain that quoted market prices in active markets are superior to other valuation techniques, including the present value of future cash flows, (discounted in this step at a rate commensurate with the risk involved), option-pricing models, matrix pricing, option-adjusted spread models, and fundamental analysis.

Our analyses of 100-plus corporations indicate that an untapped 20 percent of market capitalization resides in the balance sheet, within those areas of operational excellence (such as inventory turns and Dso) that determine capital efficiency and free cash flows.

The goal is to understand the unknown market mechanism that uses predicted future cash flows to create the observed market value.

Cash flows are geographically concentrated in Brazil (rated 'BB', with a Positive Outlook by Fitch) and more generally in Latin America.

Another may focus on a company's ability to generate cash flows and whether or not they are sufficient to meet its obligations.

One increasingly popular avenue for companies is to "securitize" projected cash flows to raise money from the capital markets.

Several valuation bases were described in the FASB DM, including the present value of future cash flows, the sum of undiscounted future cash flows, current market value and net realizable value.
