Written by The inventory turnover ratio (often referred to as ‘Turn’) is a key metric in fundamental analysis that measures how many times a company sells and replaces its inventory within a given period.
To calculate inventory turnover, divide total sales by the inventory. However, in some cases, the Periodic Hot Seller cannot compute this value. These cases include:
- No remaining inventory to divide into sales.
- A selling margin is too low to divide the remaining inventory.
When these conditions apply, the Turn value will be left blank.
