Days in Inventory
Tracks how long inventory sits before being sold, offering clues about demand levels and inventory management effectiveness.
Inventory days surged into early 2023 as supply-chain disruption and customer build-ups pressured working capital, then retraced steadily through 2025 as Celestica normalized production and destocked — a positive for cash flow and margin conversion. The modest rise in mid‑2026 is a warning flag: either rebuilding safety stock amid demand uncertainty or early signs of slower turnover. Monitor quarterly order trends and management comments on customer cadence before assuming the efficiency gains are permanent.
