Channel Stuffing An illegal practice in which a company willfully sells more of its product to distributors than the distributors can sell to customers. The company makes these sales on credit, which temporarily boosts its accounts receivable and by extension its current assets. This makes the company look healthier than it really is which can raise its stock price. Eventually, when the distributors are unable to sell the product they return it to the company instead of paying, which reduces the accounts receivable and brings the company's balance sheet in line with reality.
