Sally Beauty Holdings Inc's inventory turnover has seen a slight decrease over the past year, with the ratio dropping from 2.03 in 2022 to 1.88 in 2023. This implies that the company's inventory is turning over at a slower rate, indicating either higher inventory levels or lower cost of goods sold.
