Copart Inc's Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) has shown a fluctuating trend over the past five years. The DSO was 67.38 days as of July 31, 2024, compared to 65.38 days in 2023 and 65.88 days in 2022.

Overall, while the DSO for Copart Inc has shown some variability, the company appears to have managed its accounts receivable collection effectively in recent years, with a slight uptick in 2024 compared to the previous two years but still an improvement compared to 2021 and 2020.
