Understanding Operating Cash Flow
Operating cash flow (OCF) measures cash generated from a company's core business activities. Unlike net income, OCF strips out non-cash items like depreciation and stock-based compensation, revealing the actual cash a business produces. Consistently positive OCF is essential for funding operations, investments, and shareholder returns without relying on external financing.
