CAPEX Coverage
Cash Flow to Capital Expenditures (CF/CapEX) is a ratio that measures a company's ability to acquire long-term assets using free cash flow. The Cash Flow to Capital Expenditures ratio will often fluctuate as businesses go through cycles of large and small capital expenditures. A higher CF/CapEX ratio is indicative of a company with sufficient capital to fund operations. The CF/CapEX ratio, like other ratios, provides information about a company’s performance. Specifically, the ratio tells analysts how much cash the company is investing in capital expenditures, such as property, plant and equipment. This is important to analysts who are looking for growth stocks.
