What are the possible reasons for the free cash flows to be negative in dcf ?
Answers: The company can have cycles, i.e. it tracks the economic cycle or an industry cycle. If the business is cyclical, it would not be unreasonable to see a year where it loses money and thus have negative free cash flow.
Another example would be the capital expenditure cycle, i.e. the buys a large plant or equipment every few years such that it's capex budget is lumpy. Therefore, you would also see negative free cash flow during that period.
There are many other reasons as well for negative free cash flow.
Good luck
current cash flow can be negative because the company is adding to its fixed assets--spending capital. DCF refers to future cash flow. That might be caused by having to pay back borrowed money.
