The long-term activity ratios for the period between April 2022 and June 2026 exhibit a general downward trajectory, indicating a gradual reduction in the efficiency with which the organization utilizes its assets and equity to generate revenue.

Net Fixed Asset Turnover
A consistent decline is observed in the efficiency of fixed asset utilization. The ratio peaked at 5.12 in October 2022 before entering a period of gradual contraction. While the ratio remained relatively stable between 4.50 and 4.74 throughout much of 2023 and 2024, a further decrease occurred in 2025, reaching a low of 4.22 in December 2025. The period concludes with a slight recovery to 4.31 by June 2026, though the overall trend remains lower than the initial 2022 levels.
Total Asset Turnover
The total asset turnover ratio shows a marginal but steady decline over the analyzed timeframe. After reaching a maximum of 0.49 in October 2022, the ratio fluctuated within a narrow band of 0.42 to 0.46 for several quarters. A more pronounced dip to 0.40 was recorded in December 2025 and March 2026, suggesting a decrease in overall asset productivity. The ratio ended the period at 0.41, reflecting a slight contraction in the ability to generate sales relative to the total asset base.
Equity Turnover
Equity turnover experienced the most notable shift among the activity ratios. Initial values were maintained at or above 1.00 through April 2023, peaking at 1.04. Following this peak, a sustained downward trend emerged, with the ratio dropping below 0.90 by June 2024. The ratio stabilized between 0.83 and 0.88 during 2025 and 2026, indicating that the organization is generating less revenue per unit of shareholder equity compared to the beginning of the observed period.

Collectively, the simultaneous decline in fixed asset, total asset, and equity turnover ratios suggests an increasing intensity of capital investment or an expansion of the balance sheet that has not been matched by a proportional increase in revenue growth.

The net fixed asset turnover ratio demonstrates a general downward trajectory over the analyzed period, indicating a decline in the efficiency with which fixed assets are utilized to generate revenue. While the ratio initially experienced an upward trend in 2022, it transitioned into a long-term decline, suggesting that the growth in the net property, plant, and equipment base has outpaced revenue growth.

Turnover Ratio Trends
The ratio reached a peak of 5.12 in October 2022 before entering a period of volatility and gradual decline. From December 2022 through December 2023, the ratio fluctuated between 4.54 and 4.84. A more pronounced decline is observed from March 2024 onward, with the ratio reaching a low of 4.22 in December 2025, before stabilizing slightly at 4.31 by June 2026.
Fixed Asset Expansion
There is a consistent increase in net property, plant, and equipment, which rose from 8,448 million US dollars in April 2022 to 10,755 million US dollars by June 2026. This represents a significant expansion of the long-term asset base, which has contributed to the compression of the turnover ratio.
Revenue Correlation
Revenues exhibited fluctuations throughout the period, generally ranging between 10,345 million and 12,215 million US dollars. Because revenue growth remained relatively flat or grew at a slower rate than the investment in fixed assets, the capacity of each dollar of fixed assets to generate sales diminished over time.
Operational Efficiency Insights
The transition from a turnover ratio of 5.12 to 4.31 suggests a decrease in asset productivity. The most significant erosion of efficiency occurred between June 2024 and December 2025, where the ratio fell from 4.56 to 4.22, coinciding with the period of most rapid expansion in net fixed assets.

The analysis of total asset turnover from April 2022 through June 2026 reveals a general contraction in the efficiency with which assets are being utilized to generate revenue. While the company has significantly expanded its asset base, revenue growth has not kept pace, resulting in a gradual downward trend in the turnover ratio.

Asset Base Expansion
A consistent upward trajectory in total assets is observed, increasing from 92,747 million USD in April 2022 to a peak of 113,281 million USD by March 2026. This expansion indicates substantial capital investment or an increase in the corporate resource base over the analyzed period.
Revenue Performance
Revenues have exhibited a range-bound pattern, fluctuating primarily between 10,345 million USD and 12,215 million USD. Although periodic peaks were recorded, specifically in December 2024 and December 2025, the overall revenue trajectory lacks the sustained growth necessary to offset the increase in total assets.
Asset Turnover Ratio Trends
The total asset turnover ratio peaked at 0.49 in October 2022, followed by a period of relative stability around 0.46 through much of 2023. A persistent decline is evident from 2024 onwards, with the ratio reaching a low of 0.40 in March 2026. The most recent value of 0.41 in June 2026 suggests a stabilization at a lower efficiency level compared to the early 2022-2023 period.

The divergence between the growing asset base and the relatively stagnant revenue levels indicates a diminishing return on invested assets. This downward trend in the turnover ratio suggests that the company is experiencing a decline in asset productivity, where each dollar of assets is generating less revenue over time. This pattern often points to a lag between significant capital expenditures and the subsequent realization of revenue growth.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Equity turnover = (RevenuesQ2 2026 + RevenuesQ1 2026 + RevenuesQ4 2025 + RevenuesQ3 2025) ÷ Total Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. shareholders’ equity
= (11,994 + 11,005 + 12,215 + 11,122) ÷ 52,679 = 0.88

The analysis of long-term activity reveals a divergence between the growth of the equity base and the generation of revenue, resulting in a general decline in equity turnover efficiency over the observed period.

Revenue Trends
Revenues exhibited significant volatility, beginning at 11,818 million in April 2022 and experiencing a period of relative stagnation and slight contraction between 2023 and early 2024, where values frequently fluctuated between 10,345 million and 10,886 million. A recovery phase is observed toward the end of 2024 and 2025, with a peak of 12,215 million in December 2024 and a closing value of 11,994 million in June 2026.
Shareholders' Equity Growth
Total shareholders' equity demonstrated a consistent and steady upward trajectory throughout the entire period. Starting at 40,956 million in April 2022, the equity base expanded to 52,679 million by June 2026. This persistent increase indicates a continuous strengthening of the company's capital position.
Equity Turnover Dynamics
The equity turnover ratio initially remained stable, peaking at 1.04 in April 2023. Following this peak, a clear downward trend emerged as the growth in shareholders' equity outpaced revenue growth. The ratio declined steadily, reaching a minimum of 0.83 in December 2025. While a modest recovery to 0.88 occurred by June 2026, the overall trajectory suggests a reduction in the asset-generating efficiency of the invested equity compared to the 2022-2023 baseline.
