		Companies in cyclical industries can deal with this type of volatility by implementing cuts to compensations and layoffs during bad times, and paying bonuses and hiring en masse in good times.
		For example, the airline industry is a fairly cyclical industry; in good economic times, people have more disposable income and, therefore, they are more willing to take vacations and make use of air travel.

	Price/Cash Flow Ratio Well Above Industry Glossary Definition: Investor - MSN Money
		Price-to-cash-flow ratios vary widely from industry to industry, with capital-intensive industries such as auto manufacturing or cable TV tending to have very low multiples, and less infrastructure-heavy industries, like software, sporting much higher ones.
		But the average price-to-cash-flow ratio in the auto industry is 5, and in the software industry it’s 39.
		Generally, the higher this ratio and the larger the gap between its multiple and the industry average, the more likely that the firm may be overvalued.
