Increase/Decrease in Inventories
Definition 1.
Change in inventories over time. Rising inventories could be a red flag indicating slowing sales and coming markdowns. On the other hand, many businesses will have rising inventories going into the hectic Christmas selling season. In general, inventories are merchandise bought for resale and supplies and raw materials purchased for use in revenue-producing operations.
