Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO)

The data indicates variability in the number of days of payables for Cisco Systems Inc over the specified periods. As of July 29, 2023, the company’s accounts payable period was approximately 24.54 days, which increased to 39.74 days by July 31, 2023. This suggests a significant extension in the payable cycle within that timeframe. Moving forward to July 27, 2024, the payable period was recorded at 24.89 days, returning close to the initial period observed in 2023. However, by July 31, 2024, the days of payables had lengthened substantially to 44.32 days, indicating a further delay in settling liabilities. The trend continued into the next year, with the number of days of payables incrementing slightly to 45.07 days as of July 31, 2025, reflecting a sustained or marginally increased extension in the payable cycle.

This pattern suggests the company has experienced fluctuations in its payment practices, with periods of both shortening and lengthening in the payable days. The consistent increase observed in 2024 and 2025 indicates a tendency toward extending supplier payment periods, which could be indicative of strategic management of working capital, potential supplier relationship considerations, or shifts in cash flow management strategies. Overall, these variations highlight an adaptive approach in Cisco’s accounts payable management over the analyzed timeframe.
