Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time for CAMBUS LIMITED is 36 days, indicating a consistent tendency to pay beyond typical 30-day terms. While only 34% of payments are within 30 days, a substantial 64% are processed between 31 and 60 days, suggesting payments reliably extend into the next month. This trajectory points to a predictable pattern of slightly delayed but generally settled payments within a two-month timeframe.

Volatility Analysis

Payment reliability for CAMBUS LIMITED is relatively high given that the vast majority (64%) of invoices are settled within the 31-60 day window, indicating predictable payment cycles. The low incidence of payments over 60 days (2%) and a reported late payment rate of 4% suggest minimal extreme delinquency risk. This consistent pattern implies low volatility, as payments are predictably delayed rather than sporadic or highly unreliable.

Summary Analysis

Overall, CAMBUS LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk, characterized by consistent, but not excessively long, payment delays. Suppliers should anticipate an average payment time of 36 days and plan for the majority of invoices to be paid between 31 and 60 days. To mitigate risk, consider structuring payment terms to align with the typical 31-60 day cycle or adjusting cash flow forecasts accordingly.
