Companies in Canada with the highest free cash flow
Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditure: what is left once the company has paid to maintain and expand its asset base. We calculate it from two lines in the same filing, and a company is only ranked here if it reported both. Figures are for fiscal year 2025 and are read directly from each company's SEC filings; the source column on every row links to the document.
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) tops the list with $7.6B in free cash flow for fiscal 2025, ahead of Bank of Montreal ($6.7B) and Cenovus Energy ($5.3B). The top 10 together report $40.9B in free cash flow; the gap between #1 and #10 is ×3.22. 62 companies in Canada report free cash flow, 3.0% of the 2084-filer universe. The last place on the list, Cronos Group, comes in at $149,000.
