The analysis of liquidity ratios over the presented quarterly periods reveals notable fluctuations while demonstrating an overall improvement trend towards the later dates.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibits variability, initially increasing from 1.08 to a peak near 1.94 in late 2021, reflecting an improvement in the company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. After reaching a high point above 2.1 early in 2023, it declines somewhat before gradually increasing again to the highest value recorded at 2.32 by mid-2025. This progression indicates strengthening short-term financial stability over the long term despite intermittent declines.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio follows a similar pattern to the current ratio but with generally lower values, reflecting the exclusion of inventory from current assets. Starting from 0.7 in early 2020, it rises steadily to approximately 1.24 in early 2022, suggesting improved liquidity without reliance on inventory. Post early 2023, the quick ratio experiences a decline to a low point near 0.76, followed by a consistent upward movement reaching 1.69 by mid-2025. This trend signals a recovery and enhancement in liquid asset coverage over liabilities.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio shows more pronounced volatility, beginning at 0.37 in early 2020 and climbing to near 0.81 by early 2022, indicating an increasing level of cash or cash-equivalents relative to current liabilities. Subsequently, the ratio dips to a trough around 0.3 in late 2023, representing a period of reduced cash liquidity. Thereafter, a robust rebound is observable, culminating in a significant peak of 1.16 by mid-2025. This suggests a strong accumulation of highly liquid assets in recent periods, reinforcing the company's immediate liquidity position.
In summary, the liquidity measures convey that after some interim volatility, especially in the quicker forms of liquidity (quick and cash ratios), the company has progressively enhanced its capacity to meet short-term obligations. The upward trajectory in all three ratios towards the latter periods points to a stronger liquidity position and potentially more conservative working capital management.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals notable fluctuations in both current assets and current liabilities over the observed periods. Current assets demonstrate a general upward trend, with an initial increase from approximately 1.91 billion USD in early 2020 to a peak exceeding 5.37 billion USD by late 2021. This peak is followed by a slight decline and subsequent recovery, culminating in a significant rise to nearly 6.92 billion USD by mid-2025. The pattern indicates periods of asset accumulation interspersed with moderate reductions but overall growth across the time frame.
Current liabilities exhibit a less consistent trajectory. Initially starting at around 1.77 billion USD, liabilities decrease slightly and then increase substantially, reaching a notable high of approximately 2.77 billion USD in late 2021. After this peak, liabilities show a gradual decline with occasional increases but remain relatively stable around the 2.4 to 3.2 billion USD range in the subsequent years. These fluctuations suggest periods of increased short-term obligations followed by efforts to manage and reduce these liabilities.
The current ratio, an indicator of short-term financial health, varies notably throughout the period. Starting at slightly above 1.0, it improves steadily to a high of 1.94 by late 2020 and further peaks at around 2.12 – 2.32 in early to mid-2023 and mid-2025. The ratio dips in some quarters, notably to around 1.05 in mid-2021 and to 1.37 in late 2023, reflecting increased current liabilities or decreased current assets during those times. However, the overall trend indicates an improvement in liquidity, with the current ratio consistently remaining above 1.0 and frequently exceeding 1.5, signaling adequate capacity to cover short-term obligations.
- Current Assets
- Show an overall growth trend from approximately 1.91 billion USD to nearly 6.92 billion USD, with periods of rapid increase particularly between late 2020 and late 2021.
- Current Liabilities
- Experience notable variability, with peaks in late 2021 followed by a generally stable trend slightly below previous highs. The liabilities fluctuate within a band of approximately 2.2 billion to 3.2 billion USD in recent years.
- Current Ratio
- Demonstrates improvement in the company's liquidity position over time, rising from around 1.08 to as high as 2.32. The ratio's volatility highlights periods of pressure on liquidity, but it remains generally favorable.
In summary, the company maintains a strong liquidity position, as evidenced by the rising current ratio supported by growth in current assets relative to current liabilities. Despite occasional setbacks, the ability to meet short-term obligations appears to have strengthened over the review period.

The financial data presents insights into liquidity trends over multiple quarterly periods. The analysis focuses on total quick assets, current liabilities, and the quick ratio to assess short-term financial health and solvency.
- Total Quick Assets
- Total quick assets show an overall increasing trend across the periods, indicating improving liquid asset holdings. Starting from approximately 1,238,774 thousand USD in early 2020, the value progressively rises, reaching a peak of over 5,022,546 thousand USD by mid-2025. Despite some fluctuations, particularly a noticeable decline between early 2023 and late 2023, the general trajectory is upward, suggesting enhanced capacity to meet short-term obligations without relying on inventory sales.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibit more volatility compared to quick assets. Initial values are about 1,770,542 thousand USD and show large fluctuations, peaking around 2,776,829 thousand USD during early 2021. Following this, there is a general decline towards mid-2025, with liabilities dropping to around 2,979,038 thousand USD by the last measurement. These fluctuations imply changing obligations and possibly variable operating or financing conditions impacting short-term debt levels.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio follows a pattern consistent with the movements in quick assets and current liabilities. Early in the period, the ratio starts below 1 at 0.7, indicating potential liquidity constraints. It rises above 1 around mid-2020 and early 2021, peaking at 1.54 and then stabilizes somewhat between 1.3 and 1.5 for several quarters. A dip below 1 occurs in late 2023 but the ratio recovers strongly afterward, reaching a high of 1.69 by mid-2025. This reflects improvements in short-term liquidity coverage and suggests increasing ability to settle current liabilities with liquid assets.
Overall, the data reveals a strengthening liquidity position over the analyzed timeframe. Although current liabilities fluctuate, the enhanced level of quick assets and the increasing quick ratio indicate improved short-term financial stability. Periods of reduced liquidity are temporary and followed by recoveries, implying effective management of liquid resources relative to short-term obligations.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 3,469,287 ÷ 2,979,038 = 1.16
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Cash Assets
- The total cash assets displayed an overall increasing trend from early 2020 through mid-2025, with some fluctuations during certain quarters. Initially, cash assets rose steadily from approximately 654 million USD in February 2020 to a peak around 1.98 billion USD in October 2021. Subsequently, a decline occurred towards early 2023, reaching a low near 958 million USD in October 2023. From the end of 2023 onward, cash assets recovered and increased sharply, reaching above 3.4 billion USD by August 2025. This pattern suggests cyclical liquidity management, with significant reinforcements of cash reserves in recent periods.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities showed substantial volatility over the observed period. Starting at approximately 1.77 billion USD in early 2020, liabilities decreased during the first year to a low near 1.36 billion USD by October 2020, followed by a strong upward movement, peaking at around 3.2 billion USD between mid-2023 and mid-2024. After this peak, liabilities demonstrated a mild downward adjustment, settling near 3 billion USD by August 2025. The increasing liabilities in recent years indicate a growing short-term obligation level, necessitating careful liquidity monitoring.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, which measures the company’s ability to cover current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, reflected the interplay between cash assets and liabilities. Initially, the ratio improved steadily from 0.37 to a high of 0.81 by early 2022, indicating strengthening liquidity. However, this was followed by a marked decline to 0.3 by October 2023, suggesting reduced immediate solvency during that interval. Subsequent quarters reveal a robust recovery in the cash ratio, ultimately surpassing 1.0 by August 2025, reaching 1.16. This indicates that by the end of the period, the company had more cash on hand than current liabilities, showcasing significant liquidity improvement.
- Overall Analysis
- Throughout the reported periods, the company experienced notable fluctuations in liquidity measures. The increase in total cash assets combined with growing current liabilities resulted in oscillating cash ratios. The recent quarters show a pronounced emphasis on bolstering cash reserves relative to liabilities, culminating in a cash ratio exceeding 1.0. This suggests an enhanced liquidity position and a capacity to meet short-term obligations comfortably by the end of the observation window. Nonetheless, the periods of decreased liquidity ratios earlier highlight the importance of continuing close management of working capital to mitigate risks associated with volatility in short-term liabilities.
