The payables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company manages its accounts payable by calculating how many times a company pays off its suppliers in a given period. A higher payables turnover ratio indicates more frequent payments to suppliers.

Analyzing The Ensign Group Inc's payables turnover ratio over time, we observe fluctuations in the ratio from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. The ratio ranged from a high of 43.08 on March 31, 2020, to a low of 32.62 on December 31, 2022.
