Hi,
It appears that "asset light" models are gaining popularity these days. However, how would one determine, quantitatively, what it means to be asset light?
Would you just divide PP&E (and other relevant assets) over sales (or other income statement items) to get a percentage, and compare that percentage against other relevant companies?
Thank you.
