The Inventories/Sales Ratio released by the US Department of Commerce is a measure of the relationship between the level of inventories held by US businesses and their sales activity. The ratio is calculated by dividing the total value of inventories by the total value of sales, and is reported on a monthly basis for various sectors, including manufacturing, wholesale, and retail.
The Inventories/Sales Ratio is important because it provides insights into the pace of economic growth, as businesses may need to increase or decrease their production levels in response to changes in the ratio. A high ratio may indicate that businesses are holding excess inventory, which could suggest weaker demand or slower economic growth. Conversely, a low ratio may suggest that businesses are struggling to keep up with demand, which could signal stronger economic growth. The ratio can also provide valuable information about the financial health of specific industries and companies. For example, an industry or company with a high inventory-to-sales ratio may face pressure to reduce prices or increase promotions to clear out excess inventory, which could impact their profitability.
