The increasing trend in DOH from 2019 to 2023 may indicate potential inefficiencies in managing inventory levels or challenges in accurately forecasting demand. A high DOH value can suggest excess or obsolete inventory, leading to higher holding costs and potential liquidity issues. It is essential for the company to closely monitor and optimize its inventory management practices to improve operational efficiency and maintain healthy working capital levels.
