The company maintained a high inventory turnover ratio in the range of 184 to 201 from June 2020 to March 2023. However, there was a gradual decline in the ratio from March 2023 to June 2024, with a significant spike in the ratio in December 2024 and March 2025 to 196 and 197, respectively.

The Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) for Chemed Corp have shown a somewhat increasing trend over the analyzed periods, reaching 2.54 days as of June 30, 2024, before declining to 1.85 days as of March 31, 2025. This indicates that the company has, on average, enough inventory to last for around 2.54 days to 1.85 days based on the corresponding sales.

On the other hand, the Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) and the Number of Days of Payables data are not provided or available for analysis, which limits our ability to assess Chemed Corp's collection and payment efficiency.

Overall, the DOH ratio is a key measure of inventory management efficiency, and the decreasing trend from June 2022 to March 2025 suggests that Chemed Corp has been efficiently managing its inventory levels. However, a complete analysis of the activity ratios would require data on DSO and payables turnover to provide a more comprehensive view of the company's working capital management.

Chemed Corp's fixed asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of the company in generating revenue from its fixed assets. The trend in the fixed asset turnover ratio shows fluctuations over the periods analyzed. From June 2020 to March 2025, the ratio ranged from a high of 11.40 to a low of 6.37. In recent periods, there seems to be a declining trend in the fixed asset turnover ratio, indicating that the company may be less efficient in utilizing its fixed assets to generate sales.

Furthermore, the total asset turnover ratio, which indicates how efficiently the company is utilizing all its assets to generate revenue, also shows variability over the periods studied. The ratio ranged from 1.29 to 1.64 during the period from June 2020 to March 2025. In the later periods, there appears to be a slight decrease in the total asset turnover ratio, suggesting that the company might be experiencing challenges in generating sales relative to its total asset base.

Overall, the analysis of Chemed Corp's long-term activity ratios indicates that the company's efficiency in generating revenue from both its fixed and total assets has been fluctuating over the past few years. The declining trends in both fixed asset turnover and total asset turnover ratios in recent periods may warrant further investigation into the company's operational efficiency and asset utilization strategies.
