This indicates that the company has been managing its inventory levels more efficiently recently compared to the previous year. Lower DOH values suggest that the company is selling its inventory more quickly, which can lead to lower carrying costs and potential inventory obsolescence risks.

Days of sales outstanding (DSO) have also varied, with values ranging from 35.43 days to 74.71 days. A lower DSO indicates that the company is collecting its receivables more quickly, improving its cash flow and reducing the risk of bad debts. The trend shows a slight increase in DSO over the past year, which may imply a need for stronger credit management practices.

The number of days of payables for EchoStar Corporation has also fluctuated, with ranges from 17.65 days to 408.74 days. A higher number of days of payables means that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, which can help preserve cash in the short term but might strain supplier relationships in the long run. The significant increase in days of payables from the previous year could indicate potential liquidity issues or changes in payment terms negotiated with suppliers.

In conclusion, the analysis of EchoStar Corporation's activity ratios suggests improvements in inventory management and receivables collection efficiency but highlights potential challenges in managing payables effectively and maintaining healthy relationships with suppliers. Monitoring and addressing these trends will be crucial for sustaining the company's financial health in the future.
