The activity ratios of Sensata Technologies Holding NV, based on the provided data, focus on Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) as the primary metric.

Over the period from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024, the company's DOH has displayed fluctuations ranging from a low of 75.53 days in June 30, 2021, to a high of 92.81 days in September 30, 2022. This indicates varying levels of efficiency in managing its inventory levels during this timeframe.

Notably, there was a decreasing trend in DOH from September 30, 2022, to December 31, 2024, suggesting potential improvements in inventory management efficiency. The most recent data point on December 31, 2024, shows a slight increase in DOH to 77.99 days compared to the preceding quarter.

It's important for Sensata Technologies Holding NV to continue monitoring and optimizing its inventory management processes to strike a balance between maintaining sufficient inventory levels to meet customer demand and avoiding excess inventory holding costs. This ongoing assessment can help the company optimize its working capital and enhance overall operational efficiency.

Given the absence of data for Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) and Number of Days of Payables, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive analysis of the trade receivables and payables turnover cycles. Monitoring these metrics alongside DOH would provide a more comprehensive view of the company's overall liquidity and efficiency in managing its operating cycle.
