Cash is the most liquid form of assets. Meaning that it can be easily traded with other resources within short a period of time.

Because of this, better cash flows usually provide financial planners with more flexibility in determining the actions that they need to take. Not only that, high amount of cash inflows indicates that there is a high volume transaction between the company and the consumers. This usually seen as favorable by investors.
