Adobe Inc., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-11-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-08-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-05-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-02-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-11-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-08-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-01), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-04), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-04), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-05).
The liquidity position, as indicated by the current, quick, and cash ratios, exhibits fluctuations over the observed period. Generally, the ratios demonstrate a moderate level of liquidity, though a slight declining trend is apparent towards the end of the period.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio began at 1.27 and generally fluctuated between 1.04 and 1.39 through December 2022. A subsequent decline was observed, reaching a low of 0.99 in May 2025, before recovering slightly to 1.00 in November 2025. This suggests a potential weakening in the company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term assets, followed by a minor stabilization. The most recent value indicates a ratio near 1, suggesting a balanced, but potentially vulnerable, short-term financial position.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a similar pattern to the current ratio, starting at 1.12 and moving between 0.82 and 1.25. A more pronounced downward trend is visible in the quick ratio, falling from 1.22 in December 2022 to 0.82 in May 2025, before a slight recovery to 0.88 in November 2025. This indicates a decreasing ability to meet short-term obligations with the most liquid assets, excluding inventory. The quick ratio consistently remains below the current ratio, indicating that inventory comprises a significant portion of current assets.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio demonstrates the most stable trend of the three ratios, consistently remaining above 0.63 throughout the period. It began at 0.85 and fluctuated between 0.63 and 1.00. A slight decline is observed towards the end of the period, reaching 0.63 in May 2025, before stabilizing around 0.64-0.65. This suggests a consistently strong ability to cover immediate liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, though the ratio is trending downwards.
Overall, the observed trends suggest a gradual decrease in liquidity across all three ratios, particularly in the quick ratio. While the company maintains a reasonable liquidity position, the declining trend warrants monitoring to ensure continued ability to meet short-term obligations. The consistency of the cash ratio provides some reassurance, but the decreasing current and quick ratios suggest a potential need to optimize working capital management.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The current ratio exhibited fluctuations over the analyzed period, spanning from March 2021 to November 2025. Initially, the ratio demonstrated an increasing trend, followed by periods of decline and subsequent stabilization. A general observation suggests the company maintains a reasonable, though variable, ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets.
- Initial Increasing Trend (Mar 5, 2021 – Sep 3, 2021)
- The current ratio increased from 1.27 to 1.39. This indicates an improving liquidity position during this timeframe, suggesting the company was becoming more capable of meeting its short-term obligations. The increase was driven by a faster growth in current assets compared to current liabilities.
- Subsequent Decline (Sep 3, 2021 – Mar 4, 2022)
- Following the peak in September 2021, the current ratio decreased to 1.04 by March 2022. This decline suggests a weakening liquidity position, potentially due to faster growth in current liabilities or a decrease in current assets. The ratio dipped below 1.20, indicating a reduced margin of safety in covering short-term debts.
- Stabilization and Fluctuations (Mar 4, 2022 – Nov 29, 2024)
- From March 2022 through November 2024, the current ratio fluctuated between 1.04 and 1.34. While there were periods of improvement, such as reaching 1.34 in December 2022, the ratio generally remained within a narrower range. This suggests a period of relative stability in the company’s short-term liquidity, though with ongoing variability.
- Recent Trends (Feb 28, 2025 – Nov 28, 2025)
- The most recent data indicates a slight downward trend, with the ratio decreasing from 1.18 to 1.00. The ratio briefly fell below 1.0 in May 2025 (0.99) before recovering slightly. This recent decline warrants monitoring, as a ratio consistently below 1.0 could indicate potential liquidity concerns. The latest reported value of 1.00 suggests the company’s current assets are just equal to its current liabilities.
Overall, the current ratio demonstrates a cyclical pattern. While generally above 1.0, indicating sufficient liquidity, the observed fluctuations and the recent downward trend suggest a need for continued monitoring of the company’s short-term financial health.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The quick ratio for the analyzed period demonstrates fluctuations, generally remaining above 1.0 but exhibiting a declining trend in the most recent quarters. Initially, the ratio showed an increasing pattern, peaking in the September 2021 timeframe, before experiencing volatility. A notable decrease is observed towards the end of the analyzed period.
- Initial Period (Mar 5, 2021 – Sep 3, 2021)
- The quick ratio experienced an upward trend, increasing from 1.12 to 1.25. This suggests an improving ability to meet short-term obligations with highly liquid assets during this period. Both total quick assets and current liabilities generally increased, but quick assets grew at a faster rate.
- Subsequent Fluctuations (Dec 3, 2021 – Sep 2, 2022)
- The ratio experienced a decline to 1.11 in December 2021, followed by a recovery to 1.01 by September 2022. This period indicates some instability, with the ratio oscillating around the 1.0 mark. Current liabilities increased more substantially than quick assets during this time, contributing to the initial decline and subsequent stabilization.
- Recent Trend (Dec 2, 2022 – Nov 28, 2025)
- From December 2022 through November 2025, the quick ratio generally decreased. While there were minor fluctuations, the ratio fell from 1.00 to 0.88. This decline suggests a weakening ability to cover short-term liabilities with readily available assets. Current liabilities consistently increased at a faster rate than total quick assets, driving this downward trend. The most recent values indicate a concerning level, falling below 1.0.
- Asset and Liability Dynamics
- Total quick assets exhibited growth over much of the period, peaking at 10,066 US$ in millions in December 2023. However, this growth was often outpaced by the increase in current liabilities. Current liabilities demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, reaching 10,521 US$ in millions in November 2024 and 10,200 in November 2025. This disparity between asset and liability growth is the primary driver of the observed decline in the quick ratio.
The observed decrease in the quick ratio during the latter part of the analyzed period warrants further investigation. While the ratio remained above 1.0 for a significant portion of the timeframe, the recent trend suggests a potential increase in liquidity risk. Monitoring the composition of both quick assets and current liabilities will be crucial for assessing the company’s short-term financial health.

1 Q4 2025 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 6,595 ÷ 10,200 = 0.65
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The cash ratio for the analyzed period demonstrates fluctuations, generally remaining above 0.65. An initial increase is observed from March 2021 to September 2021, followed by a decline through March 2022. The ratio experiences a period of relative stability and modest growth through November 2023, before decreasing again in the subsequent periods, with the lowest value recorded in May 2025.
- Overall Trend
- The cash ratio exhibits a cyclical pattern. It initially strengthens, then weakens, stabilizes, and weakens again. While generally healthy, the ratio shows a decreasing trend in the latter part of the analyzed period.
- Initial Period (Mar 5, 2021 – Sep 3, 2021)
- The cash ratio increased from 0.85 to 1.00. This suggests an improvement in the company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations with only cash and cash equivalents during this timeframe. The increase is likely attributable to growth in total cash assets.
- Decline (Sep 3, 2021 – Mar 4, 2022)
- A decline is noted, falling from 1.00 to 0.65. This decrease coincides with a rise in current liabilities exceeding the growth in total cash assets, indicating a potential weakening in immediate liquidity.
- Stabilization and Growth (Mar 4, 2022 – Nov 28, 2025)
- The ratio shows a recovery, peaking at 0.95 in December 2022, before fluctuating between 0.72 and 0.90 through November 2023. This period suggests a stabilization of liquidity, with cash assets and current liabilities moving in a relatively balanced manner. However, a subsequent decline is observed, reaching a low of 0.63 in May 2025.
- Recent Performance (Feb 28, 2025 – Nov 28, 2025)
- The most recent data indicates a weakening cash position relative to current liabilities. The ratio decreased from 0.81 in February 2025 to 0.63 in May 2025, and remains relatively low at 0.65 in November 2025. This warrants further investigation into the drivers of this decline, such as increased short-term debt or decreased cash flow.
The observed fluctuations in the cash ratio suggest a dynamic liquidity position. While the company generally maintains a reasonable ability to cover its current liabilities with cash, the recent downward trend requires monitoring to ensure continued financial health.
