The days of sales outstanding (DSO) for GE Aerospace have been fluctuating over the past few years based on the data provided. The trend shows that DSO was relatively stable around 70-80 days from March 2020 to September 2021. However, there was a noticeable increase in DSO to over 100 days by September 2022, indicating that the company took longer to collect its accounts receivable.

The DSO then fluctuated between 80-100 days until March 2024, where there was a significant spike to 151.13 days, suggesting that GE Aerospace faced challenges in the collection of sales within a reasonable time frame.

Following this peak, the DSO decreased to 83.00 days by June 30, 2024, showing an improvement in the efficiency of accounts receivable management. It is important for GE Aerospace to closely monitor and manage its DSO to ensure timely collection of sales and maintain healthy liquidity levels.
