The DOH decreased from 4.33 days as of March 31, 2020, to a low of 3.14 days by December 31, 2020, indicating a more efficient management of inventory during this period.

Subsequently, there was a decrease in DOH to 6.31 days by June 30, 2023, before rising to 8.23 days by September 30, 2023. The absence of reported data for the following periods suggests a lack of visibility into Alphabet Inc's inventory management practices in the near term.

The increasing DOH values observed in recent quarters could indicate potential inefficiencies in managing inventory levels or challenges in forecasting demand accurately. It would be important to monitor future reports to assess if Alphabet Inc Class A takes steps to optimize inventory levels and improve its operational efficiency.
