Toll Brothers Inc's inventory turnover over the past five years has shown fluctuations. The trend indicates that the company is taking longer to sell its inventory relative to the amount of inventory it holds. A lower inventory turnover ratio suggests inefficiency in managing and selling inventory, potentially leading to higher carrying costs and reduced liquidity. It is essential for Toll Brothers Inc to focus on improving inventory management practices to enhance operational efficiency and profitability.
