The days of sales outstanding (DSO) for American Eagle Outfitters Inc show a fluctuating trend over the periods reported. DSO represents the average number of days a company takes to collect revenue after a sale is made.

From July 30, 2022, to April 29, 2023, the DSO decreased from 15.47 days to 17.60 days before increasing again to 20.38 days by July 29, 2023. This suggests a potential delay in collecting revenue during this period.

Subsequently, the DSO decreased to 18.26 days by October 28, 2023. This improvement in collection efficiency may indicate more effective credit and collection policies.

However, the DSO data after October 28, 2023, is missing, with several periods showing "— days," indicating a lack of information to assess the company's collection performance.

The DSO of American Eagle Outfitters Inc provides insights into the company's accounts receivable management and efficiency in collecting cash from customers. A decreasing trend in DSO generally indicates better liquidity and working capital management, while an increasing trend may raise concerns about potential collection issues and cash flow challenges. Further data beyond October 28, 2023, is needed to conduct a more comprehensive analysis of the company's collection efficiency.
