Alphabet Inc Class A's days of inventory on hand (DOH) has shown a fluctuating trend over the years. In 2020, the company had 3.14 days of inventory on hand, which increased slightly to 3.85 days in 2021. However, there was a significant jump in inventory days in 2022, reaching 7.72 days. The data for 2023 and 2024 is not available.
The increase in DOH from 2021 to 2022 may indicate a buildup of inventory relative to sales, possibly due to changes in demand patterns or production inefficiencies. A high DOH could tie up capital in inventory and indicate potential obsolescence risk or inefficiencies in inventory management. Further analysis is needed to understand the underlying reasons for the increase in DOH and its implications for Alphabet Inc Class A's operations and financial performance.
