Free cash flow — Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditure: what is left once the company has paid to maintain and expand its asset base. We calculate it from two lines in the same filing, and a company is only ranked here if it reported both.

Every row links to its own SEC filing · Fiscal year 2025 · Data as of September 25, 2026 · 2011–2025 compound annual growth +6.5%

Calculated from two reported figures, so it has no single filing of its own.
