Hello,
In the Growth section and I see that you have growth rates (%) mentioned for EPS Diluted YoY and FWD.
But for Free Cash Flow Growth, it only mentions FWD, Free Cash Flow / Share Growth (FWD)
Can you pls also add YoY/Annual data for FCF per Share?
It would come in handy.
Thanks.
Also in the Growth section, the 5Y Avg. EPS Diluted growth rate looks off.
E.g. For Waste Management (WM) it says EPS Diluted Growth = 72.50%
But looking at the income statement the YoY Growth rates for Diluted EPS for past 5 years as follows
| 60.61% | 66.42% | 0.91% | -12.13% | -7.63% |
Which equates to an 5 Yr Avg. growth of 21.63%.
Can these be corrected pls?
Thanks.
Hi,
We do have Levered FCF growth (YoY)
I'll investigate the issue regarding Dil. EPS Growth

Is the Levered FCF same as just FCF? I think not.
Also since you guys already show Free Cash Flow / Share Growth (FWD), why not for simplicity sake just show
Free Cash Flow / Share Growth (YoY or TTM) as well?
Having per share basis info on hand, kinda helps.
Thanks.
Hi,
There are two ways of projecting a company's Free Cash Flow (FCF): on an unlevered basis, or on a levered basis. A levered DCF projects FCF after Interest Expense (Debt) and Interest Income (Cash) while an unlevered DCF projects FCF before the impact on Debt and Cash. we use levered FCF.
About showing additional ratios, there can be 100s of ratios, multiples, growth, value, and profitability metrics that one can use in their analysis, so here at SA we try and select a few that we think would best serve our users while not overwhelming their analysis with excessive data. Although, using our financial statements one can derive any metric that best fits their use case.
Nonetheless, i'll convey your suggestion to our product team. Thanks for sharing.
