The activity ratios of Tenet Healthcare Corporation provide valuable insights into the efficiency of the company's operations.

1. Inventory Turnover: The inventory turnover ratio indicates how many times inventory is sold and replaced over a period. Tenet Healthcare's inventory turnover has been relatively stable over the years, ranging between 8.08 to 47.84. A sudden increase in the ratio towards the end of 2024 might indicate better inventory management or increase in sales.

2. Receivables Turnover: Unfortunately, specific data for receivables turnover is not available, which makes it challenging to assess how effectively the company collects on its receivables. A consistent or improving turnover ratio would be a positive sign.

3. Payables Turnover: Similar to receivables turnover, data for payables turnover is not provided, limiting our ability to evaluate how efficiently the company manages its payables.

4. Working Capital Turnover: The working capital turnover ratio measures how effectively a company is using its working capital to generate revenue. Tenet Healthcare's working capital turnover has varied over the years, with higher ratios indicating better utilization of working capital to generate sales. There has been a slight decrease in the ratio towards the end of 2024, suggesting a potential decrease in revenue generation efficiency.

In conclusion, while Tenet Healthcare's inventory turnover appears stable and there are some positive trends in working capital turnover, the absence of data for receivables and payables turnover limits the comprehensive analysis of the company's overall activity ratios.
