This indicates that the company is taking longer to sell its inventory, which could potentially tie up more capital in inventory and may suggest inefficiencies in inventory management or slowing sales. The gradual rise in DOH could be a concern for the company as it may lead to higher holding costs and reduced liquidity. Monitoring this trend closely is crucial to ensure efficient utilization of resources and maintain optimal inventory levels.
