What is price-to-cash flow ratio?    
It is a stock valuation indicator that measures the value of a stock’s price to its cash flow per share. The ratio takes into consideration the stock’s operating cash flows, which adds non-cash earnings such as, depreciation and amortisation, to net income. It is especially useful for valuing stocks that have positive cash flows, but aren’t profitable because of large non-cash charges. The price-to-cash flow ratio is calculated by taking the current share price and dividing the total cash flow from operations found on the cash flow statement.
