A lower DOH indicates that the company is able to sell its inventory faster, which is generally favorable as it reduces the risk of obsolescence and carrying costs. Over the analyzed period, WK Kellogg Co managed to improve its DOH from 50.71 days to 47.39 days before slightly increasing to 49.57 days by the end of the year. This reduction in DOH suggests better inventory management efficiency, allowing the company to convert its inventory into sales more quickly.
It is important to keep monitoring the DOH trend to ensure that the company maintains an optimal level of inventory to meet demand while avoiding excess stock that could tie up capital.
