The cash conversion cycle of Cytek Biosciences Inc has shown some fluctuations over the past eight quarters. The cycle measures the time it takes for the company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales.
From March 2022 to June 2023, the cash conversion cycle has shown an increasing trend, indicating that the company has been taking longer to convert its resources into cash. This may suggest some inefficiencies in inventory management or delays in collecting accounts receivable.
The peak in the cash conversion cycle was observed in March 2023 at 459.72 days, which may raise concerns about the company's liquidity and working capital management during that period.
It is important for Cytek Biosciences Inc to closely monitor its cash conversion cycle and work towards optimizing it to ensure efficient use of resources and improved cash flow generation in the future.
