Deep Analysis
Free cash flow (FCF) yield measures the cash a company generates from operations minus capital spending, divided by its market value; a 3.2% yield means JNJ returns $3.20 in free cash for every $100 of equity value.
This yield matches the healthcare sector median of 3.2%, but JNJ ranks at the 0th percentile among peers, meaning its FCF yield is among the lowest in the group. The year-over-year change is not available, while the quarter-over-quarter change shows a decline of -3.0%, indicating the yield has contracted in the most recent period. A yield that is at the sector median but in the bottom percentile and declining suggests the company’s cash generation relative to its price is weaker than most competitors and deteriorating, which raises risk of lower future returns.
