Cash flow from investing activities is a section of a business's cash flow statement that shows the cash generated by or spent on investment activities. Investing activities include the purchase of physical assets, investments in securities, or the sale of securities or assets. Negative cash flow from investing activities is not a bad sign if it indicates that management is investing in the long-term health of the company. The total cash flow from investing in an accounting period is found by adding together both positive and negative investing activities listed on the cash flow statement.
