Days of inventory on hand (DOH) and number of days of payables are not available from the provided data. However, the days of sales outstanding (DSO) for Comcast Corp show a fluctuating trend over the past eight quarters. DSO increased from 35.89 days in Q3 2022 to 38.09 days in Q4 2022 before decreasing to 37.34 days in Q1 2023 and further to 35.89 days in Q2 2023. In Q3 2023, DSO rose to 38.76 days, indicating a potential slowdown in the collection of receivables.

The management of receivables is crucial for Comcast Corp as higher DSO values suggest that the company takes a longer time to convert its sales into cash, potentially impacting its cash flows and liquidity. A systematic analysis of the reasons behind the fluctuating DSO and its impact on the company's operating cycle would be necessary to understand the effectiveness of Comcast Corp's credit and collection policies.

Fixed asset turnover	2.04	2.08	2.12	2.13	2.19	2.26	2.27	2.23	2.16	2.15	2.07	1.99	1.99	2.07	2.15	2.24	2.25	2.32	2.25	2.16
Total asset turnover	0.46	0.46	0.46	0.46	0.47	0.48	0.46	0.44	0.42	0.41	0.39	0.37	0.38	0.39	0.40	0.41	0.41	0.42	0.40	0.38

The fixed asset turnover for Comcast Corp has shown a fluctuating trend, with a slight decline in recent quarters from 2.27 in June 2022 to 2.04 in December 2023. This indicates that the company is generating less revenue per dollar of fixed assets, which could be a concern if not managed effectively.

On the other hand, the total asset turnover has remained relatively stable, hovering around 0.46 to 0.48 over the last eight quarters. This suggests that the company has been consistent in generating sales in relation to its total assets.

Overall, the fixed asset turnover trend could be a point of focus for Comcast Corp to assess its asset utilization efficiency and identify areas for improvement in generating revenue from its fixed assets.
