Universal Microelectronics Co's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Dec. 2025 is calculated as:

=116.87

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.

Universal Microelectronics Co's Inventory to Revenue for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2025 is calculated as
