Positive free cash flow in all of the last 4 quarters

What this criterion checks

Free cash flow (operating cash flow − capex) positive in each of the last 4 quarters.

Enter the measurements that belong to the same company, reporting period and definition. Growth ratios use decimal fractions: 0.2 means 20%. A blank optional measurement remains unknown and is not silently replaced with zero. Company type can make a condition inapplicable.

Read each condition as well as the final state

The result shows the criterion state, measured conditions and missing or inapplicable fields. For an AND rule, every required branch matters. For an OR rule, a measured branch can satisfy the criterion even when another branch is unavailable; missing values are not evidence that a condition failed.

This worksheet evaluates the app’s stated criterion from your inputs. It does not download statements, validate a company’s accounting, supply live market prices or forecast an event. Meeting a rule is not an investment recommendation. A date comparison uses your historical reference dates, and an anniversary-based expectation is not a confirmed future announcement.
