factor.explanation

This indicator is used to evaluate the sales quality and cash collection ability of the company's main business. A higher cash income ratio from operating activities (TTM) means that the company's sales revenue has a higher cash content, good income quality, and may have stronger profitability and financial stability. This indicator can effectively supplement the income statement information and provide investors with a more comprehensive financial perspective. It should be noted that this indicator should not be used independently, but should be combined with other financial indicators and industry characteristics for comprehensive analysis. For example, some industries may have a higher proportion of credit sales, resulting in a relatively low indicator.
