The days of inventory on hand (DOH) for Lumentum Holdings Inc have shown fluctuations over the past five years. In particular, the trend indicates an increase in DOH from 55.36 days in 2021 to 174.02 days in 2020, which may raise concerns about inventory management efficiency. However, there has been a significant improvement in 2022, with DOH decreasing to 71.48 days, suggesting better control over inventory levels.

In the most recent year, as of June 30, 2024, the DOH stands at 88.58 days, which indicates that the company is holding inventory for approximately 88.58 days before selling it. This suggests a slight increase from the previous year but still remains lower than the levels observed in 2020.
