The total asset turnover ratio ranged from 0.96 to 1.13 during the past few years, indicating varying levels of efficiency in generating sales from its total assets. Higher ratios, such as 1.13 in February 2024, suggest that the company is generating more revenue relative to its total assets. Conversely, lower ratios, such as 0.96 in November 2020, indicate potential inefficiencies in asset utilization.
