The Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (if any), in the securities of the Global X U.S. Cash Flow Kings 100 Index (the Underlying Index). The Fund's 80 percent investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed. The Underlying Index is owned and was developed by Global X Management Company LLC (the Index Provider), an affiliate of the Fund and the Fund's investment adviser (the Adviser). The Underlying Index is administered and calculated by Mirae Asset Global Indices Pvt. Ltd. (the Index Administrator), an affiliate of the Index Provider. The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to large- and mid-capitalization U.S. equity securities that exhibit high free cash flow yields relative to the eligible universe of companies, as determined by the Index Administrator. Generally speaking, free cash flow is the cash a company generates after accounting for operating expenses and capital expenditures, and free cash flow yield is a financial ratio comparing the free cash flow per share a company earns against its enterprise value per share. When a company has high free cash flow yield, this indicates that the company is generating a surplus of cash, which can be utilized for paying dividends, repaying debts, buying back shares and/or investing in growth opportunities. While free cash flow yield can be a useful metric for evaluating a company, there is no guarantee that companies with high free cash flow yields will continue to maintain high free cash flow yields in the future, or that these companies will outperform companies with lower free cash flow yields.

Here's Why Gogo Shares Are Trading Higher Today

<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">Pulled from Benzinga Pro data,</a> SPX FLOW (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLOW#NYSE">FLOW</a>) showed a loss in earnings since Q3, totaling $13.80 million. Sales, on the other hand, increased by 1.13% to $394.00 million during Q4. SPX FLOW reached earnings of $23.60 million and sales of $389.60 million in Q3. 
<h3>Why Is ROCE Significant?</h3>
Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q4, SPX FLOW posted an ROCE of 0.01%.
Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future. 
ROCE is a powerful metric for comparing the effectiveness of capital allocation for similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows SPX FLOW is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will generally lead to higher returns and, ultimately, earnings per share (EPS) growth. 
For SPX FLOW, the positive return on capital employed ratio of 0.01% suggests that management is allocating their capital effectively. Effective capital allocation is a positive indicator that a company will achieve more durable success and favorable long-term returns.
<h3>Upcoming Earnings Estimate</h3>
SPX FLOW reported Q4 earnings per share at $0.77/share, which did not meet analyst predictions of $0.94/share.

Stockholders Of SPX FLOW Approve Merger With An Affiliate Of Lone Star Funds

<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">According to Benzinga Pro data</a> SPX FLOW (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLOW#NYSE">FLOW</a>) posted a 41.53% decrease in earnings from Q3. Sales, however, increased by 1.13% over the previous quarter to $394.00 million. Despite the increase in sales this quarter, the decrease in earnings may suggest SPX FLOW is not utilizing their capital as effectively as possible. In Q3, SPX FLOW earned $23.60 million and total sales reached $389.60 million.

The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company&#39;s earnings per share. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company&#39;s current performance against its past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also shows that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future.
Depending on the particular phase of a business cycle, some industries will perform better than others.
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 35.6 in the Machinery industry, SPX FLOW Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 48.19. Shareholders might be inclined to think that SPX FLOW Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It&#39;s also possible that the stock is overvalued.

P/E ratio is not always a great indicator of the company&#39;s performance. Depending on the earnings makeup of a company, investors can become unable to attain key insights from trailing earnings.

The sale comes just days after SPX FLOW and SIG announced something that&#39;s unprecedented in the&nbsp;Middle East: a new Technology Center in&nbsp;Dubai&nbsp;that will stretch the value chain all the way from research and development to processing and packaging. The Technology Center will accelerate how customers test a complete delivery solution, speeding up their time to market.
The customer, a producer of long-life milk, flavored milk and feta cheese, will install two UHT process lines, as well as SPX FLOW valves, pumps, a&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3372559-1&amp;h=3936469693&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spxflow.com%2Fsolutions%2Fhomogenization%2F&amp;a=homogenizer" target="_blank">homogenizer</a>, a&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3372559-1&amp;h=1639892096&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spxflow.com%2Fsolutions%2Fmixing-blending%2F&amp;a=mixer" target="_blank">mixer</a>&nbsp;and components for&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3372559-1&amp;h=2990048929&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spxflow.com%2Fcapabilities%2Fplate-heat-exchanger-services%2F&amp;a=plate+heat+exchangers" target="_blank">plate heat exchangers</a>.
&quot;This is exactly what we envisioned would happen with the Technology Center,&quot; said&nbsp;Gerard Lang,&nbsp;SPX FLOW&#39;s vice president of&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3372559-1&amp;h=865688005&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spxflow.com%2Fabout%2Four-company%2F&amp;a=Nutrition+%26+Health+Systems" target="_blank">Nutrition &amp; Health Systems</a>. &quot;This new collaboration makes us a one-stop provider for a complete process solution, and companies in the&nbsp;Middle East&nbsp;have been waiting a long time for this.&quot;
SPX FLOW helped pioneer UHT development during the 1950s and 1960s. Today, the company offers a large choice of technology, ranging from low cost &quot;express&quot; systems to customized solutions that meet exact processing needs and specific product qualities.
UHT processes many products, such as dairy, grain, fruit, nuts and liquids, including yogurt, sauces, juices and baby food. At the Technology Center, SPX FLOW will test products, finding the right balance between optimal temperature and total processing time. This extends product shelf life while retaining the taste, texture and depth consumers expect.
One of SPX FLOW&#39;s most popular UHT technologies is&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3372559-1&amp;h=2075289967&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spxflow.com%2Fapv%2Fproducts%2Finfusion-uht-sdh%2F&amp;a=InfusionPlus" target="_blank">InfusionPlus</a>. It holds products at high temperatures for only a short time. The UHT reaches 157&deg;C, and the holding time is less than 0.1 seconds.
For many competitors, the holding time often takes at least 1 second, which means the product cannot sustain temperatures as high as InfusionPlus. SPX FLOW has done trials with its own equipment, and even just an extra tenth of a second meant people could taste the caramelisation. It&#39;s called the Maillard reaction, and it changes the color of the milk while also making it taste boiled.
&quot;Customers are quickly making reservations at the Technology Center to benchmark their recipes to see about taste and color,&quot; Lang said. &quot;We expect in the next few months, the Technology Center will be fully booked.&quot;

<h3>What Is ROIC?</h3>
Return on Invested Capital is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital invested by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROIC. A higher ROIC is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROIC suggests the opposite. In Q2, SPX FLOW posted an ROIC of 2.28%.
Keep in mind, while ROIC is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future. 
Earnings data without context is not clear and can difficult to base trading decisions on. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) helps to filter signal from noise by measuring yearly pre-tax profit relative to invested capital by a business. Generally, a higher ROIC suggests successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. In Q2, SPX FLOW posted an ROIC of 2.28%.
It is important to keep in mind that ROIC evaluates past performance and is not used as a predictive tool. It is a good measure of a company's recent performance, but does not account for factors that could affect earnings and sales in the near future. 
For SPX FLOW, the positive return on invested capital ratio of 2.28% suggests that management is allocating their capital effectively. Effective capital allocation is a positive indicator that a company will achieve more durable success and favorable long-term returns.
<h3>Upcoming Earnings Estimate</h3>
SPX FLOW reported Q2 earnings per share at $0.63/share, which beat analyst predictions of $0.59/share.
