Clarent Inventory

Clarent posts a inventory of $11M as of September 2001. That compares with $13M in the prior-year period — down 12.4% year over year. Comparing that reading with peers and prior periods is usually more useful than looking at the number in isolation.

In the prior comparable period, Clarent's inventory was $13M. The latest reading is $11M — a 12.4% year-over-year decrease (period ending September 2001). Use the history and growth charts on this page for a longer lookback.

Inventory is one piece of Clarent's financial statement story. At $11M, it should be interpreted next to related metrics — for example revenue with costs, assets with liabilities, or income with margins. Stockcircle links those related pages so you can move from this number to the surrounding context quickly.

Context for CLRN's inventory usually means three checks: (1) trend versus prior periods, (2) level versus peers, and (3) consistency with growth and profitability. This page covers the first two; Clarent's other metric pages and overview cover the third.

Judging Clarent against Technology peers is usually better than using a market-wide rule of thumb. Business models inside Technology are more comparable, which makes gaps in inventory easier to interpret. Start with $11M here, then scan peer and history charts to see if the gap is persistent.
