AFP® CORPORATE CASH INDICATORS
U.S. businesses continued to accumulate cash and short-term investment holdings during the second quarter of 2020 but did so at a slightly slower pace than the previous quarter. The quarter-over-quarter index decreased four points to +20. While the year-over-year indicator decreased by three points to +29, organizations continued to accumulate cash in the last year at the fourth-highest pace since AFP began collecting this data in 2011. The forward-looking indicator increased 7 points from last quarter’s reading of -15 to -8. Similar to last quarter, financial professionals are predicting they will be drawing down on their cash holdings due to worsening business performance.
