Free Cash Flow Cows Screen 19 Qualifying in UK

This screen is inspired by a similar screen devised and backtested here by the Old School Value blog for the US market. It looks for stable, cash rich companies growing their FCF, yet selling at a cheap multiple to FCF. Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus capital expenditure. The idea is that FCF is the ultimate driver of intrinsic value - the more FCF a company can generate and reduce debt, the higher the intrinsic value of the company becomes.

You can see a back-test for a US variant of this strategy here.

This screen is based on a UK dataset. It uses the following criteria:

  • FCF / LT Debt > FCF / LT Debt PTTM
  • FCF / LT Debt > 10
  • EV / FCF < 10
  • FCF > FCF 1y Ago
  • FCF 1y Ago > FCF 2y Ago
  • FCF 2y Ago > FCF 3y Ago
  • FCF > 0.05 * Sales (Local)

Results are sorted by:

  • EV / FCF in ascending order


And limited to the first 200 Results

You should consider the results of any screening process, including this one, as candidates for further research, not as a buy list. Screening helps to narrow a search based on pre-defined criteria. It is not a substitute for independent research reflecting your individual criteria for investing/trading.
