The days of inventory on hand (DOH) for Gen Digital Inc. have shown a significant downward trend over the years, reflecting improved inventory management efficiency.

As of March 31, 2021, the company had an inventory turnover cycle of approximately 235 days, indicating that it took an extended period to convert inventory into sales. However, over the subsequent years, there has been a remarkable reduction in DOH. By March 31, 2022, the DOH decreased to around 50 days, suggesting that the company started to manage its inventory more effectively, reducing the time it takes to sell its inventory.

The trend continues in the following years, with the DOH further declining to approximately 19 days by March 31, 2023, and significantly dropping to just 0.50 days as of March 31, 2024. This sharp decline may indicate that Gen Digital Inc. has implemented robust inventory control measures, streamlining its supply chain and improving inventory turnover efficiency.

The absence of a specific DOH figure for March 31, 2025, represented as "— days," may be due to different reporting practices or a transition in the company's accounting systems. Overall, the decreasing trend in DOH over the years reflects Gen Digital Inc.'s efforts to optimize its inventory management processes and enhance overall operational performance.
