Conversely, by July 31, 2024, the ratio decreased again to 5.08, maintaining a level consistent with the across-the-year trend, albeit slightly lower than the previous year’s figure, implying a modest extension in the average period taken to pay suppliers.

Overall, the payables turnover ratios suggest that Campbell’s Co maintains a relatively stable approach to its trade payables, with minor fluctuations indicating cautious management of short-term liabilities aligned with operational strategies and cash flow management. The variations between periods could also reflect seasonal or cyclical factors impacting the company’s payment practices.
