Dell Technologies Inc's Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) indicates the average number of days it takes for the company to collect revenue from its sales.

Looking at the data provided, we observe the following trends:

1. As of February 3, 2023, Dell had a DSO of 64.73 days, suggesting that, on average, it took the company around 64.73 days to collect payments from its customers. This might indicate a relatively slower collection period, which could impact the company's cash flow.

2. By February 2, 2024, Dell had significantly improved its DSO to 19.17 days. This sharp decrease in DSO reflects a more efficient collection process, with Dell able to convert sales into cash more quickly compared to the previous period.

3. Notably, data is missing for DSO on January 31, 2023, and January 31, 2024, making it difficult to assess the trend over a longer period.

In conclusion, Dell Technologies Inc's DSO has been improving based on the available data, indicating enhanced efficiency in collecting payments from customers. However, it would be beneficial to have additional information over a longer period to better assess the overall trend and performance in managing accounts receivable.
