Inventory comprises assets held for sale, being produced for sale, or consumed in production. Under IAS 2, it is generally measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Inventory can include merchandise, raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. What qualifies depends on the company's operations.
High inventory may support growth or indicate slow-moving stock. Review write-downs, turnover, seasonality, and valuation methods before comparing businesses.
