The fixed asset turnover of Applied Industrial Technologies has displayed a fluctuating trend over the past few quarters. The ratio indicates how efficiently the company is utilizing its fixed assets to generate revenue.

There was a consistent increase in the fixed asset turnover from Dec 2020 to Dec 2023, reaching a peak of 39.13 in Dec 2023. This suggests that the company was able to generate more revenue relative to its investment in fixed assets during this period.
