A higher inventory turnover ratio indicates that the company is selling its inventory more quickly, which is generally a positive sign. Conversely, a lower ratio may suggest slower sales or excess inventory on hand.

From the data provided, we can observe a decreasing trend in the inventory turnover ratio from September 2023 to December 2024, with the ratio decreasing from 8.43 to 6.93.
