Days Inventory Outstanding

Trading Term

Days inventory outstanding measures how long a company typically holds inventory before selling it. It is calculated using average inventory, cost of goods sold, and the number of days in the reporting period.

An increase may indicate weaker demand, excess purchasing, production inefficiencies, or planned inventory accumulation. Seasonal patterns and industry differences should be considered when interpreting the result.
