Free Cash Flow per Share is the amount of Free Cash Flow per outstanding share of the company's stock.

However, when we look at the Free Cash Flow, we should look from a long term perspective, because any year's Free Cash Flow can be drastically affected by the spending on Property, Plant, & Equipment (PPE) of the business in that year.
