The inventory turnover ratio of Cytek Biosciences Inc has fluctuated over the past several quarters, indicating varying efficiency in managing its inventory levels.

In general, a higher inventory turnover ratio is preferred as it suggests that a company is selling its inventory more quickly. In the most recent quarter (December 31, 2023), Cytek Biosciences had an inventory turnover of 1.37, which was an improvement compared to the previous quarter. This signifies that the company was able to sell and replace its inventory 1.37 times during the period.

Looking further back, the trend in inventory turnover shows some fluctuations, with higher ratios recorded in some quarters (e.g., March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022) and lower ratios in others (e.g., March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023). These fluctuations could indicate changes in demand, production efficiencies, or inventory management practices within the company.

Overall, Cytek Biosciences should aim to maintain a consistent and ideally increasing inventory turnover ratio to ensure optimal utilization of its inventory and efficient operations. Further analysis and comparison with industry benchmarks may provide additional insights into the company's inventory management performance.
