Abstract. The study is conducted to scrutinize four operating cash flow indices of commercial firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HSX). The research employs a set of aggregated data from 14 commercial firms. At the same time, the study also receives comments from experts experienced in the same field. We used both qualitative and quantitative methods. We have performed some descriptive analysis, compared to evaluate and measure four operating cash flow indices of commercial firms, including: (i) Operating cash flow/net sales; (ii) Operating cash flow/total assets, (iii) Operating cash flow/owner's equity, and (iv) Operating cash flow/net operating profit. The results illustrate that there is a big difference in operating cash flow indices of commercial firms listed in the context of Vietnam. Foreign ownership accounts for a relatively low proportion of these firms. Based on the results, some suggestions are proposed for commercial firms in order to improve the four operating cash flow indices
