FCF reconciliation
Free cash flow is not a GAAP line item; it should be bridged from the cash flow statement.
| Operating cash flow | $6.9B | Cash generated by operations before capital spending. |
| Capital expenditures | $2.0B | Capital spending used to bridge CFO to FCF. |
| Free cash flow | $4.9B | Operating cash flow less capital spending. |
Cash flow trend
A short quarterly history shows whether FCF is scaling with revenue or only spiking for one period.
| Period | Revenue | Operating CF | CapEx | FCF | FCF margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-06-28 | $23.6B | $3.7B | $1.8B | $1.9B | 8.0% |
| 2025-09-27 | $22.5B | $4.5B | $1.9B | $2.6B | 11.4% |
| 2025-12-27 | $26.0B | $735.0M | $3.0B | -$2.3B | -8.8% |
| 2026-03-28 | $25.2B | $6.9B | $2.0B | $4.9B | 19.6% |
Risks and tripwires
Observable signals that would weaken the free cash flow thesis.
| Risk | Tripwire | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| FCF margin compression | FCF margin falls for two consecutive quarters. | Cash conversion may be weakening before earnings show it. |
| Capital intensity rises | CapEx/revenue moves materially above the recent run rate. | More operating cash flow would be consumed before becoming FCF. |
| Working capital drag | Inventory or receivables grow faster than revenue. | Reported growth may not translate into cash. |
