Inventory Turnover measures how fast the company turns over its inventory within a year. A higher Inventory Turnover means the company has light inventory.

Target's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Jan. 2024 is calculated as:

Days Inventory =Average Total Inventories (Q: Jan. 2024 )/Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Jan. 2024 )*Days in Period
=13308.5/23403*365 / 4
=51.89

2. Inventory-to-Revenue determines the ability of a company to manage their inventory levels. It measures the percentage of Inventories the company currently has on hand to support the current amount of Revenue.

Be Aware

Usually retailers pile up their inventories at holiday seasons to meet the stronger demand. Therefore, the inventory of a particular quarter of a year should not be used to calculate Inventory Turnover. An average inventory is a better indication.
