What is Inventory Turnover?
Inventory Turnover is a financial metric that shows how many times a company sells and replaces its inventory over a specific period, typically a year. It reflects how efficiently you're managing your stock in relation to sales.
A higher turnover indicates strong sales or effective inventory control, while a lower turnover may signal overstocking, weak sales, or obsolete inventory.
Inventory Turnover Ratio Formula
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) ÷ Average Inventory
Example
This means the business sold and replenished its inventory four times during the period.
