Companies in China 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.
NetEase (NTES) tops the list with $7.1B in free cash flow for fiscal 2025, ahead of Futu Holdings ($5.2B) and JD.com ($1.6B). The top 10 together report $21.3B in free cash flow; the gap between #1 and #10 is ×9.10. 50 companies in China report free cash flow, 2.4% of the 2084-filer universe. The last place on the list, Huize Holding, comes in at $1.4M.
