In 2022, a slight decrease is observed with DPO declining to around 19.13 days in December, followed by fluctuations reaching up to 25.81 days in June 2022. The latter part of 2022 and early 2023 shows a moderate range around 20.18 to 25.06 days. Notably, in the second quarter of 2023, DPO peaks at 27.50 days, subsequently decreasing to approximately 20.31 days in September 2023.

During 2024, DPO remains relatively stable between approximately 16.94 and 33.63 days, with a resurgence noted in September 2024 at 31.30 days.
A pronounced escalation occurs in the first half of 2025, where DPO sharply rises to 53.48 days by March 2025 and continues to increase dramatically to 113.32 days by June 2025. This substantial elongation suggests a significant delay in settling payables relative to earlier periods, indicating potential changes in payment policies, liquidity strategies, or supplier terms.
Overall, News Corp A's days payable outstanding has experienced considerable variability, with a marked recent increase in the latter part of the analyzed period, culminating in exceptionally high values in mid-2025. The pattern suggests periods of both tightening and loosening of payment cycles, with the most recent data implying extended credit terms or delays in settling obligations.
