Operating Cash Flow
1.18B
Net Income
1.66B
Mixed Signal
0.71
Cash flow is meaningfully below reported profit. Some gap is normal, but a persistent gap warrants questioning of the accounting.
Most investors only look at net income, which companies can manipulate through accounting rules. Cash flow is harder to fake. A ratio above 1.0 means every dollar of profit is backed by real cash.
