The working capital turnover ratio shows a fluctuating trend, with available figures indicating variability in how effectively the company utilizes its working capital for generating sales.

On the other hand, the Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) and Number of Days of Payables data are marked as "— days" for all the periods provided.

Overall, PulteGroup Inc's DOH indicates a need to manage its inventory levels effectively to improve liquidity and operational efficiency. However, further information on sales outstanding and payables is needed to complete a comprehensive analysis of the company's activity ratios.
