In 2023, the payables turnover ratio was 7.62, a decrease from the previous year. This suggests that the company took longer to pay its suppliers in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease could be due to various factors such as changes in the company's payment terms or slower inventory turnover.
Overall, Granite Construction Inc. has maintained relatively healthy payables turnover ratios over the past five years, indicating effective management of its payables. However, a decreasing trend in the ratio may warrant further investigation to ensure that the company's payment practices remain efficient and sustainable.
