Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) measures how many days on average it takes for the company to sell its inventory. In the most recent quarter, Q4 2023, Kinder Morgan Inc had 38.81 days of inventory on hand, showing an increase from the previous quarter. This indicates that the company is holding onto its inventory for a longer period, which may tie up capital and increase storage costs.
Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) evaluates how long it takes for the company to collect payments from its customers. In Q4 2023, Kinder Morgan Inc had a DSO of 37.80 days, which decreased from the previous quarter. This suggests that the company is improving its efficiency in collecting receivables, which could be favorable for cash flow management.

In Q4 2023, Kinder Morgan Inc had 100.97 days of payables, indicating an increase compared to the previous quarter. A higher number of days of payables may suggest that the company is taking longer to settle its outstanding obligations, potentially indicating a strain on vendor relationships.
Analyzing these activity ratios collectively suggests that Kinder Morgan Inc might be experiencing challenges in managing its inventory effectively, even though it has shown improvement in collecting payments from customers. However, the increase in days of payables could be a signal of potential cash flow or liquidity issues that need to be addressed.
