DOH is a financial ratio that measures the average number of days a company holds its inventory before selling it. A higher DOH value indicates that the company is taking longer to sell its inventory, which can tie up working capital and may suggest inefficiencies in inventory management.

For Yum! Brands Inc, a DOH of 50.99 days at the end of December 2022 suggests that the company is holding its inventory for just over 50 days before selling it. This could be due to various factors such as seasonality, changes in consumer demand, supply chain issues, or inventory management practices.

It is important for the company to monitor its inventory levels closely to ensure that they are aligned with sales demand, as excessive inventory holding can tie up resources and affect profitability. Additionally, a high DOH value may indicate a need for improved inventory management strategies to optimize working capital and operational efficiency.
