Is It Possible For A Company To Have Positive Cash Flow But Be In Serious Financial Trouble? |
|
Answer» Yes, it is. A company that is selling off INVENTORY but delaying payables will show positive cash flow for a while EVEN though they're in TROUBLE. Another example WOULD be where a company has strong revenues for the period but future forecasts show that revenues will decline. This would happen when a company hasn't focused on MAKING sure there were new prospects/sales in the pipeline. Yes, it is.
