Ebitda vs free cash flow     13-Aug-09 11:11 am    
Can someone please opine on what the most important financial metric is for TDS. The $600 mill or so in cap ex, is that more maintenance cap ex or does that investment generate superior returns in the future or boost ROIC. I know everyone talks about ebitda multiples for intrinsic value but if I have to own this mgmt team bc they refuse to do the right thing based on what s/h's want, should I just think about free cash flow and ultimately what they could pay out in dividends and or stock buybacks. On a fcf basis, how does TDS compare to VZ and T? Thanks in advance.
