FCF Yield

The current FCF Yield of 2.7% means that for every $100 invested in CMI, the company generated $2.70 in free cash flow per share over the trailing twelve months.

This is below the sector median of 4.2%, placing CMI in the 31st percentile among its sector peers — implying the stock offers less cash return relative to its price than most competitors. Over the last eight quarters, the FCF Yield has been increasing; the quarter-over-quarter change is +3.8%, and the three most recent annual values (2.7%, 2.6%, 2.4%) confirm an upward trajectory, though no year-over-year figure is available. The combination of a low absolute FCF Yield with a rising trend suggests the company is generating more free cash flow relative to its price, which could reduce downside risk if the trend continues, but the yield still lags the sector. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the improving direction counters the below-median level, leaving neither a clear opportunity nor a clear danger.
