The payables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company pays its suppliers. A higher ratio typically indicates that the company is paying its suppliers more quickly, potentially reflecting strong liquidity or favorable payment terms. Conversely, a lower ratio may suggest either extended payment terms with suppliers or inefficiencies in managing payables.

Paccar Inc.'s payables turnover ratio of 16.15 in 2023 indicates that the company is, on average, paying its suppliers approximately 16.15 times during the year. This may suggest effective management of payables and good relationships with suppliers. However, it is essential to consider industry norms and specific company circumstances when interpreting this ratio in isolation.
