The total asset turnover ratio for Chesapeake Utilities Corp has been relatively stable over the past eight quarters, ranging between 0.20 and 0.31. This ratio indicates how efficiently the company is generating revenue from its total assets. A higher ratio is generally preferable as it suggests that the company is generating more revenue per dollar of assets.
