Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Analog Devices Inc., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-08-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-05-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-01-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-11-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-08-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-05-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-02-01), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-11-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-08-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-05-04), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-02-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-10-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-01-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-10-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-01-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-10-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-05-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-01-30).
The liquidity profile exhibits a cyclical pattern characterized by periods of expansion followed by sharp contractions. Overall, the organization maintained a current ratio above 1.0 throughout the analyzed period, suggesting a consistent ability to cover short-term obligations, although the margins of safety fluctuated significantly over time.
- Current Ratio
- The ratio displayed a general upward trajectory from early 2021, reaching a peak of 2.12 in January 2023. A subsequent decline occurred through October 2023, where the ratio dropped to 1.37. A strong recovery followed, culminating in a maximum value of 2.32 in August 2025. However, a notable downward trend is observed in the final quarters, with the ratio falling to 1.25 by August 2026.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio closely mirrors the movements of the current ratio but remains consistently lower, reflecting the impact of inventory on total current assets. The ratio peaked at 1.54 in January 2022 and reached a secondary high of 1.69 in August 2025. Significant troughs are observed in May 2021 (0.76) and October 2023 (0.76). The period ending August 2026 shows a marked decrease to 0.83, indicating a tighter liquidity position when inventory is excluded.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio demonstrates the highest degree of volatility. After an initial peak of 0.81 in January 2022, the ratio declined to its lowest point of 0.30 in October 2023. A substantial increase in cash holdings relative to liabilities is observed between early 2024 and mid-2025, with the ratio peaking at 1.16 in August 2025. This indicates a period where cash alone was sufficient to cover all current liabilities. This position reversed sharply by August 2026, with the ratio falling to 0.41.
A comparative analysis of the three metrics reveals a recurring divergence between the current ratio and the quick ratio, particularly during the peaks of 2022 and 2025, suggesting periods of increased inventory accumulation. The synchronized decline across all liquidity metrics leading into August 2026 indicates a systemic reduction in short-term asset buffers relative to current liabilities.

The liquidity position demonstrates moderate volatility over the analyzed timeframe, characterized by fluctuations in the current ratio that correlate with shifts in both short-term asset accumulation and liability obligations. While the ratio remained above 1.0 throughout the entire period, signifying a consistent ability to meet short-term obligations, the trajectory shows distinct cycles of expansion and contraction in solvency margins.
- Current Asset Trends
- Current assets exhibited a long-term growth trajectory, increasing from approximately $2.6 billion in January 2021 to a peak of $7.8 billion in May 2026. A substantial increase was recorded between July and October 2021, where assets rose from $3.1 billion to $5.4 billion. Following a period of relative stability between 2022 and 2023, assets entered another growth phase starting in early 2024, consistently remaining above the $5 billion threshold through the end of the analyzed period.
- Current Liability Trends
- Current liabilities displayed a general upward trend, rising from $1.7 billion in January 2021 to $5.7 billion by August 2026. Significant volatility is observed in the early 2021 period and again during the 2025-2026 window. Specifically, a sharp escalation in liabilities occurred between November 2025 and August 2026, where obligations grew from $3.2 billion to $5.7 billion, representing a substantial increase in short-term debt or accruals.
- Current Ratio Interpretation
- The current ratio fluctuated between a low of 1.05 in May 2021 and a peak of 2.32 in May 2025. A period of liquidity strengthening occurred between 2021 and January 2023, during which the ratio reached 2.12. After a temporary dip to 1.37 in October 2023, the ratio recovered and peaked in mid-2025. However, the most recent data indicates a downward trend, with the ratio falling to 1.25 by August 2026. This decline is primarily attributable to the rapid acceleration of current liabilities outpacing the growth of current assets in the final quarters of the sequence.

The liquidity position is characterized by cyclical volatility in the quick ratio, reflecting fluctuating balances between liquid assets and short-term obligations over the analyzed period. The overall trend indicates a pattern of expansion and contraction in immediate payment capacity.
- Initial Volatility and Recovery (2021-2022)
- A significant dip in liquidity occurred in May 2021, where the quick ratio fell to 0.76. This was followed by a steady recovery, peaking at 1.54 in January 2022. This improvement was driven by total quick assets increasing from approximately 1.88 billion US dollars to 3.43 billion US dollars, while current liabilities remained relatively stable compared to the asset growth.
- Liquidity Contraction (2023)
- A downward trajectory is observed throughout 2023, with the quick ratio regressing to 0.76 by October. This decline was precipitated by a reduction in quick assets to 2.43 billion US dollars occurring simultaneously with a rise in current liabilities to 3.20 billion US dollars, indicating a period of tightened short-term financial flexibility.
- Expansion Phase (2024-2025)
- A strong recovery phase transpired from February 2024 through August 2025. Total quick assets experienced substantial growth, reaching a peak of 5.49 billion US dollars in January 2026. The quick ratio reached its highest point of 1.69 in August 2025, as asset accumulation outpaced the growth of current liabilities.
- Recent Liquidity Compression (2026)
- The most recent period indicates a sharp deterioration in the liquidity profile, with the quick ratio falling to 0.83 by August 2026. This compression is attributed to a rapid escalation in current liabilities, which surged to 5.66 billion US dollars, while total quick assets declined to 4.71 billion US dollars.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 2,324,934 ÷ 5,656,254 = 0.41
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the liquidity position reveals a period of significant volatility in the cash ratio, characterized by distinct phases of contraction, recovery, and subsequent decline. The overall trend indicates a fluctuating ability to cover current liabilities using only the most liquid assets, moving from a moderate position to a peak of high liquidity, before ending in a weakened state.
- Liquidity Contraction and Trough (2021–2023)
- Between January 2021 and October 2023, the cash ratio exhibited instability, reaching a critical low of 0.30 in October 2023. This decline was driven by a simultaneous decrease in total cash assets, which fell to approximately 958 million US dollars, and a steady increase in current liabilities, which climbed to 3.2 billion US dollars. During this window, the organization's immediate liquidity buffer was significantly compressed.
- Recovery and Peak Liquidity (2024–2025)
- A sharp recovery occurred starting in February 2024, coinciding with a substantial increase in cash reserves. Total cash assets rose from 1.3 billion US dollars in early 2024 to a peak of over 4 billion US dollars by January 2026. Consequently, the cash ratio climbed steadily, surpassing the 1.0 threshold in August 2025 to reach a peak of 1.16. This period represents the strongest liquidity position in the analyzed timeframe, where cash assets fully exceeded current liabilities.
- Recent Divergence and Liquidity Erosion (2025–2026)
- From May 2025 to August 2026, a rapid erosion of the cash ratio is observed, falling from 1.13 to 0.41. This downturn is primarily attributed to a dramatic surge in current liabilities, which increased from approximately 2.98 billion US dollars in May 2025 to 5.66 billion US dollars by August 2026. Despite the cash assets remaining relatively high compared to 2021 levels, the pace of liability growth far outstripped cash accumulation, leading to a sharp decline in the short-term solvency margin.
