Current Ratio
The current ratio exhibits a fluctuating trend over the observed periods. Starting from 2.91, it generally rose to peak values around the early part of 2023, reaching a high of 4.46 in August 2023. Subsequently, it declined gradually, ending near 2.52 by August 2025. This pattern suggests a period of increased short-term liquidity around 2023, followed by a reduction in current assets relative to current liabilities toward 2025.
Quick Ratio
The quick ratio follows a somewhat similar trajectory to the current ratio but within a narrower range. Initially at 1.89, it increased to a high of 2.53 in August 2023, indicating improved ability to cover immediate liabilities excluding inventory. After that, the ratio declined gradually to around 1.71 by August 2025. This indicates tightening liquidity after the mid-term peak, reflecting a potential reduction in highly liquid assets relative to short-term obligations.
Cash Ratio
The cash ratio shows notable volatility across the timeline. Early values started at 1.24 and increased steadily to a high of approximately 2.06 in March 2023, highlighting strong cash and cash-equivalent reserves relative to current liabilities during that period. However, after the peak, there was a sharp decline, with the ratio dropping below 1.0 by late 2024 and remaining close to this lower level through mid-2025. This significant decrease signals a decline in immediate cash liquidity, which may raise concerns about the company's ability to meet short-term obligations solely with cash resources.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in liquidity and working capital management over the observed periods.

Current Assets

Current assets exhibited an overall upward trend across the reported quarters, increasing from approximately $16.5 billion in December 2020 to nearly $28.8 billion by August 2025. There were periods of fluctuation, such as a decline between September 2022 and March 2023 and again in the latter quarters of 2023 before a significant rise commencing early 2024. This pattern suggests a generally expanding asset base available for short-term obligations, potentially indicating growth or accumulation of liquid resources.

Current Liabilities

Current liabilities also increased over time, though with notable variability. Starting at about $5.7 billion in December 2020, the figure rose steadily with some short-term decreases, reaching a peak near $11.5 billion by August 2025. The increases were more pronounced starting around mid-2024, which could signal rising short-term obligations or increased leverage. The volatility seen between late 2022 and early 2024, including a temporary decrease in liabilities, might reflect changes in operational financing, payables management, or other short-term debt elements.

Current Ratio

The current ratio fluctuated throughout the period but generally remained above 2.5, indicating that current assets consistently exceeded current liabilities by a wide margin, suggesting strong liquidity. The ratio peaked around the March to August 2023 timeframe, reaching values above 4.0, which points to a particularly robust short-term financial position during those quarters. However, a declining trend is evident after this peak, moving towards approximately 2.5 by the last quarter in August 2025. This decline could imply a relative increase in current liabilities compared to current assets, hinting at tighter liquidity conditions in the later periods.

In summary, the company maintained a strong liquidity profile with current assets growing steadily and current liabilities increasing at a somewhat faster pace later in the timeline. The current ratio reflects these dynamics, showing strong coverage of short-term obligations by current assets throughout but with signs of moderate pressure on liquidity in the most recent quarters. Continuous monitoring of these trends is advisable to ensure the company sustains its ability to meet short-term liabilities without compromising operational flexibility.

1 Q4 2025 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 19,572 ÷ 11,454 = 1.71

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


Total Quick Assets
The total quick assets exhibit a general upward trend over the observed periods, rising from approximately $10.7 billion in December 2020 to nearly $19.6 billion by August 2025. While there are minor fluctuations, such as a dip around September 2022, overall growth is evident. This steady increase indicates improving liquidity in terms of readily available assets.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities show variability with a moderate upward trend by the end of the period. Starting at around $5.7 billion in December 2020, the values fluctuate, peaking notably at $11.5 billion in August 2025. Several interim increases and decreases suggest episodic changes in short-term financial obligations. The rise in current liabilities toward the latest periods might point to greater short-term financial commitments or operational requirements.
Quick Ratio
The quick ratio remains consistently above 1.5 throughout the periods, indicating adequate short-term liquidity overall. Initially, the ratio increases from 1.89 in December 2020 to a high near 2.53 by late 2023, suggesting a strengthening ability to cover immediate liabilities with liquid assets. However, from early 2024 onward, there is a gradual decline in the quick ratio, falling to approximately 1.71 by August 2025. Despite the decline, the ratio remains comfortably above 1, which implies maintained liquidity but with a decreasing margin of safety relative to liabilities.
Summary of Trends
Over the surveyed periods, total quick assets have generally increased, signifying enhanced liquidity resources. Current liabilities, while somewhat volatile, have tended to rise, especially in the latter stages, indicating increased obligations. The quick ratio corroborates these findings by initially improving beforehand but then trending downward, reflecting a narrowing gap between liquid assets and current liabilities. Overall, liquidity remains sufficient but should be monitored due to the recent decreasing quick ratio and rising liabilities.

Cash Assets Trend
Over the examined periods, total cash assets exhibited a general upward trend from December 2020 through March 2023, rising from approximately $7 billion to a peak exceeding $10 billion. After this peak, a gradual decline followed starting from mid-2023 until late 2024. Notably, there was a significant increase again toward mid-2025, reaching over $10.8 billion before slightly dropping by the last recorded period. Overall, cash assets showed substantial growth with fluctuations occurring primarily in the later periods.
Current Liabilities Trend
Current liabilities displayed variability but an overall increasing pattern from roughly $5.7 billion at the end of 2020 to over $11 billion by the latter part of 2025. The liabilities initially remained relatively stable through early 2022, followed by a notable increase beginning in late 2023, which sustained through most of 2024 and into 2025. This suggests a rising short-term financial obligation over the analyzed timeline.
Cash Ratio Analysis
The cash ratio, calculated as cash assets divided by current liabilities, demonstrated fluctuations corresponding to changes in both cash and liabilities. Initially, this ratio was above 1.2, with peaks around 2.06 in early 2023 indicating strong liquidity. Subsequently, a downward trend became apparent; by late 2024, the ratio fell below 1.0, indicating cash assets were less than current liabilities during this period. Although a mild recovery occurred in early to mid-2025, the ratio remained near or below 1.0, signaling tighter liquidity conditions.
Insights on Liquidity and Financial Position
The overall analysis points to a company maintaining robust cash reserves relative to short-term obligations during the initial part of the period. However, increasing current liabilities, especially from late 2023 onwards, have strained liquidity, reflected in the declining cash ratio. Despite recovering cash levels in 2025, the ratio remains moderate, suggesting a more cautious liquidity profile compared to earlier years. The trends imply heightened attention to managing current liabilities will be necessary to preserve financial flexibility.
