Cash Is KingIf you've followed StockStory for a while, you know that we emphasize free cash flow. Why, you ask? We believe that in the end, cash is king, and you can't use accounting profits to pay the bills. Domo's free cash flow came in at $2.93 million in Q4, turning positive over the last year.
Domo has burned through $5.75 million of cash over the last 12 months, resulting in a negative 1.8% free cash flow margin. This low FCF margin stems from Domo's constant need to reinvest in its business to stay competitive.
