Asset turnover: Measuring Revenue Generated per Asset Unit
Asset turnover expresses revenue relative to average total assets. It shows sales productivity without directly measuring profit margins.

These are illustrative inputs, not current prices, rates or recommended targets. Where a currency is shown, keep all comparable money amounts in the same currency; conversion examples identify the two sides separately.
How to interpret the result
A business can have high turnover and weak profit. Compare it with margin measures and within a relevant industry context.
