Company Review
Trend Analysis
NOBLE FOODS LIMITED consistently demonstrates efficient payment practices, with an average payment time of 24 days. A significant 88% of invoices are settled within 30 days, indicating a strong trend towards prompt and predictable payment for the vast majority of transactions.
Volatility Analysis
While payments are largely prompt, there is a 12% late payment rate, with 4% extending beyond 60 days. This suggests a minor degree of payment volatility, requiring suppliers to account for potential extended delays on a small subset of invoices.
Summary Analysis
NOBLE FOODS LIMITED presents a favorable payment profile, primarily paying promptly and consistently within 30 days. Suppliers can generally proceed with confidence, though establishing clear payment terms and monitoring for the infrequent longer delays is prudent for risk mitigation.
