= $9,100,000K ÷ $14,022,000K
= 0.65
Quest Diagnostics, Inc.'s total asset turnover has been exhibiting a declining trend in recent quarters, decreasing from 0.77 in Q4 2022 to 0.66 in Q4 2023. This indicates that the company generated $0.66 in revenue for every dollar of assets it had in Q4 2023. While the ratio has fluctuated slightly between 0.66 and 0.79 over the past eight quarters, it generally suggests that Quest Diagnostics may not be efficiently utilizing its assets to generate revenue. Further analysis of the company's operations and asset management strategies may be necessary to improve this key financial metric.
