Living hand-to-mouth on their own output: the company is currently consuming what it makes as fast as it makes it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that what the company produces or provides is being consumed as fast as it becomes available, with no cushion. The transcript is about Southern Company, a utility. They discuss Vogtle nuclear construction, asset sales, earnings, etc. There is no mention of inventory, capacity being fully utilized, or output being consumed immediately. They talk about construction progress, labor, costs, but not about their product (electricity/gas) being consumed as fast as produced. They don't discuss any inventory or capacity constraints in that sense. So answer NO.
