A higher number of days of payables suggests that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, potentially indicating a strategy to preserve cash or negotiate favorable payment terms. Conversely, a lower number of days of payables may signal a more aggressive approach to managing payables but could also indicate strong supplier relationships or cash flow constraints.
