The analysis of Cardinal Health Inc.'s days of sales outstanding (DSO) over the specified period indicates fluctuations within a relatively narrow range. As of June 30, 2021, the DSO was 20.45 days, reflecting the average collection period for receivables during that year. This figure increased slightly to 21.25 days by June 30, 2022, suggesting a marginal elongation in the time taken to collect receivables. However, the DSO then decreased to 19.78 days as of June 30, 2023, indicating an improvement in the receivables collection efficiency compared to the previous year. The trend remained stable into June 30, 2024, with a DSO of 19.45 days, maintaining a similar level of receivables turnover.

By June 30, 2025, the DSO increased again to 21.72 days, surpassing the previous peaks observed in 2022, which may reflect a slight slowdown in the collection process or changes in credit policies or customer payment behaviors. Overall, while the DSO values have fluctuated slightly, the company's receivables collection period has remained within a range of approximately 19.45 to 21.72 days over the four-year span. This consistency implies that Cardinal Health Inc. maintains a relatively stable approach to managing its receivables, with no significant deviations that would suggest disruption or deterioration in credit management practices.
