However, a higher turnover ratio would typically indicate a shorter time period for collecting payments from customers.
3. Payables Turnover: This ratio measures how quickly the company pays its suppliers. Similar to the receivables turnover, there are missing values in the payables turnover ratio, making it hard to provide a comprehensive analysis. Generally, a lower payables turnover ratio could indicate that the company takes longer to pay its suppliers.

However, the analysis of receivables and payables turnover is limited due to missing data points.

NVIDIA's DSO was 51.79 days in January 2023, increased to 59.91 days in January 2024, and then remained the same at 59.91 days in January 2025. A higher DSO could indicate potential issues with collecting payments promptly, leading to cash flow problems.

The company had 37.48 days in January 2023, increased to 59.27 days in January 2024, and remained unchanged in January 2025. A longer payment period may indicate that NVIDIA is taking longer to settle its obligations, potentially impacting relationships with suppliers.
Overall, while NVIDIA has effectively reduced its days of inventory on hand, the company needs to monitor its days of sales outstanding and number of days of payables to ensure optimal efficiency in its operations and cash flow management.
