FCF Yield

Free cash flow yield (FCF yield) measures the cash a company generates from operations after capital spending, relative to its stock price — a negative yield like -3.5% means the company is consuming cash rather than producing it.

This -3.5% sits far below the sector median of 4.2%, placing FE in the 9th percentile among peers, indicating it is one of the weakest in its industry on this metric. The trend over the last eight quarters is increasing, with the most recent quarter-over-quarter change improving by +2.8 percentage points; year-over-year change is not available for comparison. The combination of a deeply negative FCF yield with an upward trend suggests the company is still in a cash-burning phase, but the pace of cash consumption is slowing, which may reduce risk if the improvement continues. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because a FCF yield in the bottom decile of the sector and still negative implies elevated financial strain that typically warrants a more cautious view.
