The days of inventory on hand (DOH) ratio measures how many days on average it takes for a company to sell its inventory. A higher DOH indicates slower inventory turnover and potentially inefficient inventory management. Looking at the trend for DR Horton Inc over the past few quarters, there seems to be some fluctuation but generally, the days of inventory on hand have been on the higher side, ranging from around 290 to 360 days. This suggests that DR Horton Inc may be holding onto its inventory for a relatively long time before turning it into sales.

The days of sales outstanding (DSO) ratio, which measures how long it takes a company to collect payment after a sale, is not provided in the data. Without this information, it is difficult to assess DR Horton Inc's efficiency in collecting receivables.

Similarly, the number of days of payables ratio, which shows how long it takes a company to pay its suppliers, is also not available in the data. This ratio is essential in understanding how well a company manages its payables and cash flow.

Overall, based on the available information, DR Horton Inc may need to focus on improving its inventory turnover to avoid potential issues related to holding excess inventory for extended periods.
