I don't think these situations are all comparable especially Oxford.There is more than one definition of free cash flow and one uses necessary capital expenditures. Much of SCI,HDCO,FLEXF,SLR ,JBILis elective in nature to create growth and globalization. BHE and PLXS are much smaller with a diffent articulated business plan. A niche plan if you will so they aren't spending the money for plants and equipment or buying other companies for cash etc. And PLXS is spending on design service capabilities. So I think you need to look at the whole CashFlow Statment and see where all the money is coming from and going and not just use some ratio from Marketguide.My opinion.
