A stock is measured at one specific time, and represents a quantity existing at that point in time (say, December 31, 2004), which may have accumulated in the past. A flow variable is measured over an interval of time. Therefore, a flow would be measured per unit of time (say a year). Flow is roughly analogous to rate or speed in this sense.
A stock and flow model helps in studying and analyzing the system in a quantitative way; such models are usually built and simulated using computer software. A stock is the term for any entity that accumulates or depletes over time. A flow is the rate of change in a stock. A flow is the rate of accumulation of the stock. In this example, there ...
Although they treat stock and flow variables consistently, they usually model only individual stock variables such as physical capital, while monetary variables such as credit relations and debt are neglected.

A cash dividend on a stock in a portfolio, which is retained in the same portfolio as the stock, is a flow from ...
The price/cash flow ratio (also called price-to-cash flow ratio or P/CF), is a ratio used to compare a company's market value to its cash flow.It is calculated by dividing the company's market cap by the company's operating cash flow in the most recent fiscal year (or the most recent four fiscal quarters); or, equivalently, divide the per-share stock price by the per-share operating cash flow.
Kraft Heinz had free cash flow of more than $2 billion through the first nine months of the year, which is up 10% year over year. The company pays about $450 million in dividends per quarter.
Also, the perpetuity growth rate assumes that free cash flow will continue to grow at a constant rate into perpetuity. Consider that a perpetuity growth rate exceeding the annualized growth of the S&P 500 and/or the U.S. GDP implies that the company's cash flow will outpace and eventually absorb these rather large values. Perhaps the greatest ...
PayPal is also in a very strong financial position with free cash flow of $1.4 billion, and cash and cash equivalents of $16.2 billion at the end of the quarter.
