FCF Yield

The current free cash flow (FCF) yield of -10.1% means the company is consuming more cash than it generates relative to its market value — a negative yield is generally a warning sign for investors.

Among sector peers, the median FCF yield is 4.4%, and SRE sits at the 2nd percentile, indicating it ranks far below most competitors. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows an improvement of +3.8% (from -10.5% to -10.1%). Although the level remains deeply negative, the upward trend over the latest quarter suggests the cash burn rate is slowing, which could modestly reduce near-term risk. This combination — an extremely low level with a small positive trend — implies elevated risk but with a potential turning point, making a clear bullish or bearish call difficult. The negative FCF yield contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a yield below zero typically signals financial strain not reflected in a neutral rating.
