Source: SEC EDGAR XBRL company facts (10-Q / 10-K), snapshot generated 2026-11-03 for 218 tickers. Q4 values are derived as the 10-K annual less the first nine months, since Q4 is not separately tagged in company facts; cash-flow quarterly values are derived from year-to-date filings the same way. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Blank cells mean the filing does not report that line item under a standard US-GAAP tag — nothing is estimated or filled in.
