What Other Metrics Should I be Tracking in Addition to Operating Cash Flow?

In addition to operating cash flow, monitoring metrics like free cash flow, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), and working capital can provide a comprehensive view of a company’s financial health. Free cash flow helps assess the cash available for expansion, dividends, or debt reduction after accounting for capital expenditures. EBITDA offers insights into operational performance, while working capital evaluates short-term liquidity and operational efficiency.
