- The trend in DOH shows an increasing number of days from 2019 to 2023, indicating that CVR Energy Inc is taking longer to sell its inventory or manage its production levels. The higher DOH suggests that the company may be facing challenges in efficiently managing its inventory turnover.

2. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO):
- DSO measures how long it takes for the company to collect payments from its customers. The decreasing trend in DSO from 2019 to 2023 indicates that CVR Energy Inc has been improving its collection efficiency.
