Free Cash Flow

-$5.48M

FCF Margin

-0.7%

In the latest year CECO Environmental Corp produced about $5.86M of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.

Dividend Safety

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.

At RiskSafety score: 20/100

Coverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.
