Investing activities include investments in other companies and in the company's own assets (items like machinery, land, or other fixed assets).

Investing activities in a cash flow statement highlight how a company allocates resources to grow and improve its business through asset acquisition and disposal. For instance, in a retail chain, cash outflows from investing activities might include investments in new store locations, renovations, technological upgrades, equipment purchases, or improving logistics infrastructure. These outflows reflect the company's efforts to expand and enhance operational efficiency.

Cash inflows from investing activities occur when the company sells long-term assets, such as outdated equipment or underperforming stores, freeing up funds for more profitable ventures. The net cash flow from these activities is a key indicator of the company's growth strategies.

A negative net cash flow from investing often signals significant investments for future growth, while a positive net flow might indicate the selling of assets. Overall, investing activities provide insight into the company's long-term strategy and ability to sustain growth and remain competitive.
