Lindsay Corporation's payables turnover has shown a fluctuating trend over the past five years. The ratio has steadily improved from 9.23 in 2021 to 11.12 in 2024, indicating that the company is paying its suppliers more frequently each year. This could suggest efficient management of accounts payable and potentially stronger supplier relationships.

Overall, an increasing payables turnover ratio generally reflects a positive trend in managing the company's accounts payable effectively.
