Cash flow concept
Operating vs Investing vs Financing Cash
Operating cash comes from core business activity. Investing cash reflects capital expenditures, acquisitions, and investment activity. Financing cash reflects debt, equity, dividends, and buybacks.
Why It Matters
The distinction matters because all cash is not equal. Cash from operations often signals business strength, while cash from borrowing or asset sales may tell a different story.
