NFLX has modest 2.72% yield but passes growth criteria with 16.76-year Y220, supported by 15 years of behavioral data and potential data-driven competitive advantage. The uncertainty around whether content UX and data constitute durable moats leaves the directional thesis unresolved.

CPB presents a 9.35% yield and 12.66-year Y220 backed by real brand stickiness (demonstrated by Goldfish's pricing power), but elevated debt load creates material risk in a rising rate environment. The thesis is balanced between valuation appeal and financial leverage concerns.

CRM delivers a counterintuitive 6.44% true FCF yield despite poor user experience, with cash flows growing while shares retire through buybacks. The combination of high switching costs, user stickiness, and consistent cash generation suggests the market undervalues the business.

LLY passes the Y220 screen despite failing the current yield test, with parabolic revenue growth and aggressive share retirement offsetting valuation concerns; early GLP-1 innings offer durability questions but compelling optionality.

Nike's 4.1% true FCF yield doesn't meet the author's screens, and declining revenue and FCF since 2022-23 signal structural challenges. The company's moat in running has eroded as competitors like Asics and Hoka caught up, making a Jordan-era recovery unlikely in a fragmented market.

Roper's DAT Solutions operates a two-sided marketplace with strong network effects that protect growth on the upside. At 6.2% true FCF yield with declining share count, this is a buy, though the author doesn't own it due to existing similar position in FDS.

Stride's 11.8% true FCF yield and shrinking float are attractive, but governance questions around ghost student allegations and CEO departure need resolution. The per-pupil funding model creates strong incentives and an incumbent moat, making this a conditional buy pending clarity.

$SPYr/ValueInvestingDiscussionbearish u/JoeInOR · 63d ago14 prior · awaiting results The True FCF yield on the S&P 500 is running 2.51% below the 10-year treasury. That negative risk premium has shown up a few times since 1987, and it doesn't portend good things...
The S&P 500's true free cash flow yield is 2.51% below the 10-year treasury, creating an inverted risk premium that historically has resolved through either sharp earnings growth or significant price declines. With the 10-year at 4.6-4.7%, just below the stable 5-7% band, current equity multiples are thin and defensible but not compelling, especially as rate policy remains uncertain.

Florida homeowners insurer HCI Group: 18% true FCF yield, $4B reinsurance program, legally mandated customer pipeline from Citizens Insurance. I also pulled 15 years of data instead of just the good 3. The honest normalized yield is closer to 12%. Here's why I still own it.
HCI Group trades at an 8x P/E with a normalized 12% free cash flow yield (18% reported, but 3-year phenomenon with embedded reserve release). The structural tailwinds—Florida tort reform, improved underwriting technology, Citizens Insurance pipeline mandated by law's 20% rule, and verified $4.06B reinsurance coverage limiting first-event losses to $163M—create an attractive entry despite genuine hurricane tail risk that has not been tested under the improved business model.

$ADBEr/ValueInvestingStock Analysisbullish u/JoeInOR · 85d ago14 prior · awaiting results Adobe is down 40% from its highs while generating $8.25B in true annual FCF with 10% topline growth. I think it died of a theory, not an actual threat. Here's the data including deferred revenue, government contract data from USASpending.gov, and a bear case.
Adobe's 40% drawdown from highs reflects unfounded AI-replacement theory rather than fundamental deterioration. With 9.3% true FCF yield, 10% topline growth, accelerating deferred revenue (+229% swing YoY), and embedded moat in large enterprise contracts, the stock is undervalued despite concerns about ARR deceleration and CEO transition.
