According to @QCompounding, Free Cash Flow Yield is calculated as free cash flow per share divided by stock price, and a higher FCF yield typically signals a cheaper stock valuation.

Traders generally derive free cash flow per share from trailing 12-month free cash flow, defined as cash from operations minus capital expenditures, divided by weighted average diluted shares, which standardizes comparisons across companies for valuation screens.
