Brady Corporation (BRC)

The Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) for Brady Corporation demonstrates an overall trend of slight fluctuation over the observed period from July 31, 2021, through July 31, 2025. At the end of July 2021, the DSO stood at approximately 54.39 days, indicating that, on average, it took the company around 54 days to collect accounts receivable.

Between July 2021 and July 2022, the DSO decreased modestly to approximately 51.36 days, reflecting an improvement in receivables collection efficiency. This downward movement was maintained with a marginal decline to approximately 50.54 days as of July 31, 2023, suggesting continued operational effectiveness in managing receivables.

In the subsequent year, the DSO remained relatively stable around 50.47 days as of July 31, 2024, indicating sustained collection performance. However, by July 31, 2025, there was an increase to approximately 55.93 days, representing an extension of around 5.4 days relative to the previous year and a rise of about 1.54 days compared to July 2024.

Overall, the pattern reflects a period of slight improvement in cash collection efficiency immediately following 2021, followed by stability and then a modest deterioration in receivables collection by 2025. The fluctuations suggest that Brady Corporation's collection cycle has remained relatively consistent with a recent uptick, which may warrant further investigation into the factors affecting receivables and credit policies during this period.
