The analysis of Albertsons Companies' number of days of payables over the specified periods indicates a relatively stable yet slightly fluctuating pattern. The data shows that the days of payables ranged from a low of approximately 24.80 days on May 31, 2024, to a high of 30.22 days on February 28, 2022.
In the initial period (May 31, 2020), Albertsons maintained an average of around 26.21 days. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the days of payables remained relatively consistent, generally fluctuating within a narrow band of approximately 25.25 to 29.70 days. Notably, in late 2021 and early 2022, an increase was observed, reaching up to around 30.22 days, indicating a potential extension in payables during this period.
From mid-2022 onward, there is a slight downward trend, with the days of payables decreasing to around 25.75 days by May 31, 2023. This suggests a modest shortening of the payables period, reflecting possibly improved payment efficiency or strategic adjustment in creditor payments.
The most recent data indicates that as of February 28, 2025, the days of payables have stabilized around approximately 25.48 days, consistent with the earlier part of 2024. Overall, the company's accounts payable period has shown minor fluctuations but has remained within a moderate spectrum, generally around 25 to 27 days, with occasional peaks near 30 days.
This pattern demonstrates a tendency toward maintaining a balance between preserving supplier relationships and optimizing working capital management. The stability over time suggests consistent policies in managing accounts payable, with slight variations possibly attributable to operational needs, supplier negotiations, or industry-wide practices.
