the cash-return “interest rate” of a stock · Valuation — what a company is actually worth
Free cash flow per share ÷ share price. A 5% FCF yield means the business generates 5 cents of genuine free cash for every dollar of stock price — the cash-return version of a bond’s interest rate.
How much real cash you’re buying per dollar invested. The app shows it against the ~4.3% risk-free rate (what Treasuries pay with no risk) — the gap is the extra reward you’re actually being paid to take on stock risk.
FCF yield = free cash flow per share ÷ share price the spread over the 4.3% risk-free rate = your reward for taking stock risk
