2 Tech Companies With Enormous Free Cash Flow

In investing, free cash flow is the good stuff. Defined as a company's cash from operations minus its capital expenditures, free cash flow is the cold, hard cash left over after regular operations and investments in longer-term business projects are taken care of. This cash can be used to pay dividends, make acquisitions, and repurchase shares.

But not all companies regularly generate free cash flow. Indeed, some lose money after accounting for capital expenditures, and some even report negative cash from operations (ouch!). Others, of course, have proved that they can consistently rake in heaps of free cash flow. Two of these companies are Apple and Microsoft.
