The cash conversion cycle (CCC) of D.R. Horton Inc. has shown fluctuating patterns over the past eight quarters. The CCC measures how long it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales.
The company's CCC was longest in June 2022, at 339.62 days, and relatively shorter in September 2023, at 298.77 days. This suggests that the company has been able to improve its efficiency in managing inventory and collecting receivables in the most recent quarter.
A declining trend in CCC generally indicates that the company is managing its working capital more effectively, as it takes less time to sell inventory, collect receivables, and pay suppliers. However, the sharp increase in CCC in March 2023, compared to the previous quarter, may indicate challenges in managing working capital during that period.
It is important for investors and analysts to monitor the CCC closely as it reflects the efficiency of the company's operations and its ability to generate cash flows from its core business activities.
