A higher inventory turnover ratio generally indicates that the company is efficiently managing its inventory levels by selling goods more quickly. However, a very high ratio could also suggest potential stockouts or lost sales if demand exceeds supply.

On the other hand, a lower inventory turnover ratio may signal overstocking, obsolete inventory, or declining sales. It is important for the company to strike a balance in managing its inventory to optimize operational efficiency and profitability.
