The yield divides the company’s free cash flow by its market cap, giving a better sense of how investors are valuing the company’s cash production.

  • Why Blink Charging Stock Crashed 12% Today

    Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) stock tumbled 11.8% in 12:50 p.m. ET trading Monday after analysts at investment bank Cowen & Co. downgraded shares of the electric car-charging network builder. Blink shares had spent most of the past week trading near or above Cowen's price target of $41 for the stock, putting the analyst in the logical position of having to either raise its price target (if it intended to continue recommending buying Blink) or cutting its rating on the stock (if it was really sure the stock was fully valued at that price level). Although the analyst still thinks that "BLNK remains well-placed to benefit from industry tailwinds" and government subsidies for the charging industry, the analyst couldn't ignore the obvious fact that "plenty [of good news] appears priced in[to]" the stock already.
