Andrew, you wrote: "Therefore, your P/FCF would be about 78/3.4 = 22.9."

Help! Where does the number 78 come from??

Aargh - of course the 78 refers to the price!! I rushed back to this board to retract my question, but TimmFred beat me to it!! Now I am shamed before all!!

Truly, this illness that has laid me up this past couple of weeks appears to have spread to my brain. Sorry about that.

>>By the way, comparing raw per share FCF numbers alone with those of other companies probably won't be much help because you have to consider how many shares there are out there. For example if Intel split it's shares tomorrow, you would be seeing only $1.7 per share. Therefore I wouldn't pay too much attention to those percentile numbers.

But the share price is also split so the ratio P/FCF stays the same after the split.
