Deep Analysis

That is below the sector median of 0.72x, placing it at the 45th percentile among sector peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, but the quarter-over-quarter change is +13.6%, and the two available historical values show an increase from 0.59x to 0.67x; the trend direction over eight quarters is unavailable. A level below 1.0x means the company relies somewhat on inventory or incoming cash flow to meet short
