1. Residual cash flow method: equity cash flow = entity cash flow-debt cash flow.
2. Cash flow financing method: equity cash flow = dividend-stock issuance (or+stock repurchase). This formula is calculated from the perspective of shareholders. For shareholders, dividend payment is inflow, stock issuance comes out of their pockets, so it is outflow, and the corresponding stock repurchase is inflow.
3. Net investment deduction method: equity cash flow = net profit-increase in shareholders' equity. This is considered from the perspective of enterprises. Originally, the net profit belongs to shareholders, but because there is a capital demand for operating net assets, equity should provide part of the funds, so it is the cash flow of shareholders MINUS the funds retained by the enterprise.
Equity incentive:
Equity incentive is a way to motivate employees for a long time. It is a long-term incentive mechanism for enterprises to motivate and retain core talents. Conditionally give some shareholders' rights and interests to the incentive object to form a community of interests with the enterprise, so as to realize the long-term goal of the enterprise. Equity incentive model: there are three main incentive models, namely restricted stock, stock option and virtual equity.
Equity incentive is about the art and knowledge of "shares are scattered and people are scattered". The core of equity incentive is to make the core employees truly become the owners of the company. Employees who get equity are no longer hired workers, but shareholders of the company and owners of the enterprise. However, equity incentive is not employee welfare, but a struggler dedicated to the company's cause. Equity incentive is a scarce product of a company's struggling employees, and wages and bonuses are given to ordinary employees. The most valuable struggling talent in the company should get equity.
