1. Days Inventory indicates the number of days of goods in sales that a company has in the inventory.

Arrow Electronics's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Mar. 2026 is calculated as:

=58.45

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.
