The payables turnover ratio for The Cooper Companies, Inc. Common Stock has exhibited fluctuations over the past several quarters. The ratio has ranged from 8.07 to 18.37, indicating variability in how quickly the company is paying off its suppliers and trade payables.

A higher payables turnover ratio suggests that the company is managing its payables effectively by either paying off its suppliers more quickly or renegotiating payment terms to its advantage. Conversely, a lower ratio may imply that the company is taking longer to settle its payables, which could potentially strain supplier relationships or result in missed discounts for prompt payments.
