Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash dividends.  Mainly, cash flows to stockholders in two major ways: dividends and stock price increases when shares are sold.  Dividends are cash flows to stockholders from the company.  These are usually determined by the board of directors.  Stock price increases are cash flows to stockholders from the stock exchange market.  They are determined by the company's performance and the sentiments of the investors in an open market with reference to the company's financial performance and position.
