- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited a fluctuating trend over the observed periods. Initially, it remained relatively stable around the range of 1.57 to 1.81 in the first year, suggesting a consistent ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. However, a decline occurred in late 2022 and early 2023, reaching lows near 1.24, indicating a tightening in liquidity. From early 2024 onwards, a marked improvement is evident, with the ratio increasing sharply from 1.32 to over 3.0 by the end of the dataset. This suggests enhanced liquidity and a stronger short-term financial position in the most recent quarters.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a somewhat similar pattern to the current ratio, showing moderate stability above 1.0 during the initial periods, fluctuating between 1.13 and 1.56 in the earlier years. A gradual dip occurred in late 2022 and early 2023, with values approaching just below 1.0, reflecting a reduced level of liquid assets excluding inventories. Notably, from early 2024, the quick ratio increased substantially, reaching values above 2.4 by the end of the period analyzed. This improvement indicates a stronger position in liquid assets relative to current liabilities.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio demonstrated a declining trend from early to late 2022, dropping from levels near 1.18 to a low around 0.63 in late 2023, implying a reduction in cash and cash equivalents relative to current liabilities. The ratio remained below 1.0 during much of this period, indicating less immediate cash coverage compared to obligations. Starting in early 2024, there was a significant upward trend with the cash ratio increasing steadily to nearly 2.0 by the later quarters. This improvement reflects an accumulation of cash reserves or reduction in current liabilities, thereby enhancing immediate liquidity.
- General Observations
- Across all three liquidity ratios, a pattern emerges of initial stability followed by a dip in late 2022 and early 2023, and then a pronounced recovery and enhancement starting in early 2024. The most recent data shows liquidity levels considerably higher than in previous years, suggesting a strategic shift towards strengthening the short-term financial position. The improvements in the current, quick, and cash ratios collectively indicate more robust asset management and possibly an increased focus on maintaining cash and liquid assets.

- Current Assets Trend
- Current assets exhibited a generally upward trend, increasing from approximately 1,349,729 thousand USD in early April 2021 to a peak of about 4,099,923 thousand USD in late September 2024. After this peak, current assets slightly declined but remained high, with values above 4 billion USD toward the end of the period in September 2025. Notable growth occurred between mid-2024 and early 2025.
- Current Liabilities Trend
- Current liabilities fluctuated over the observed periods, beginning at 792,341 thousand USD in April 2021 and peaking at 1,595,867 thousand USD in December 2023. Thereafter, they showed variability, decreasing to approximately 1,300,767 thousand USD by mid-2025. The trend indicates periods of increased short-term obligations in late 2022 and 2023, followed by a moderate reduction in 2024 and 2025.
- Current Ratio Analysis
- The current ratio demonstrated substantial variability. Initially, it hovered around 1.7 during 2021, indicating a moderate liquidity position. It declined to a low of 1.24 by December 2023, reflecting tighter liquidity. Subsequently, the ratio increased sharply to reach above 3 by mid-2024 and remained elevated above 2.8 through to September 2025. This increase denotes an improved ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets, suggesting enhanced liquidity strength in the latter part of the period.
- Overall Insights
- The data reveals a strengthening liquidity position over time, despite fluctuations in current liabilities. The significant rise in current assets during 2024, coupled with controlled current liabilities, contributed to the marked improvement of the current ratio. This suggests that the company has been successful in growing its liquid resources at a rate that outpaces its short-term debt obligations, implying a potentially more comfortable short-term financial position in recent quarters.

- Total Quick Assets
- The total quick assets showed an overall increasing trend over the observed periods. Starting from approximately 1.13 billion in early 2021, the value grew steadily with some fluctuations, reaching a significant peak near 3.35 billion by late 2024. This indicates a general strengthening in liquid assets available within the company, with particularly substantial growth between mid-2024 and the end of 2024.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities fluctuated throughout the timeline without a clear upward or downward long-term trend. Initial figures were around 792 million in early 2021, increasing generally to a peak above 1.67 billion in late 2024, before slightly declining afterward. This variability suggests some changes in short-term obligations possibly linked to operational cycles or financing activities, but without dramatic shifts over the entire period.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio exhibited noticeable volatility and a marked improvement towards the end of the period. Early quarters showed relatively stable ratios around 1.30 to 1.50, indicating a healthy coverage of current liabilities by quick assets. However, from mid-2022 onwards, the ratio declined below 1.0 briefly, suggesting tighter liquidity or increased short-term liabilities. From early 2024, a significant improvement ensued, with the ratio rising sharply to values above 2.0 by late 2024 and early 2025. This strong increase reflects a substantial enhancement in liquid asset coverage relative to liabilities, implying improved financial stability and reduced liquidity risk entering 2025.
- Overall Analysis
- Liquidity measures demonstrate initial stability, followed by a dip in mid to late 2022, and a robust recovery beginning in 2024. The simultaneous growth in total quick assets with a less pronounced rise in current liabilities contributed to the improved quick ratio. The substantial accumulation of quick assets during 2024 likely resulted from strategic asset management or operational efficiencies, which could provide greater flexibility and security in meeting short-term financial obligations. The variability in current liabilities suggests active management of short-term debt or payables, but without significantly jeopardizing liquidity as evidenced by the quick ratio recovery.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 2,753,246 ÷ 1,406,557 = 1.96
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Cash Assets
- Total cash assets exhibited an upward trend from early 2021 through the end of 2021, increasing from approximately $743 million to nearly $1.09 billion. During the first three quarters of 2022, cash assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating slightly around the $1 billion mark. However, a notable decline occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022, with cash assets dropping to approximately $882 million. In the subsequent quarters through mid-2024, cash assets demonstrated moderate growth, rising to about $1.06 billion by June 2024. A significant jump is observed in the final quarter of 2024, where cash assets sharply increased to around $2.79 billion, maintaining this elevated level through the first three quarters of 2025, with figures fluctuating between $2.75 billion and $2.82 billion.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities showed a general increasing trend over the observed period. Starting at roughly $792 million in early 2021, the figure rose steadily, peaking at around $1.35 billion in late 2022. The liabilities then exhibited fluctuations, including decreases in early 2024 where liabilities dropped to approximately $1.37 billion, followed by a further decrease to about $1.30 billion mid-2025. Notably, liabilities remained elevated relative to 2021 levels throughout this period, with significant variability in 2023 and 2024.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio initially remained above 0.9 in early 2021, reaching a peak of 1.18 in early 2022. However, it declined through late 2022 and early 2023, hitting a low of 0.63 by the end of 2023. From that point onward, the ratio showed a strong recovery, rising substantially in late 2024 to 1.66 and continuing to climb, reaching approximately 1.96 by mid-2025. This indicates improved liquidity in the latter periods, where cash and cash equivalents are increasingly sufficient to cover current liabilities.
- Summary
- Throughout the period, total cash assets experienced initial growth followed by stabilization and then a substantial increase at the end of 2024, signaling stronger cash positions. Current liabilities increased steadily over time with some volatility in the later periods, reflecting possible operational or financing changes. The cash ratio mirrored these trends, dropping during 2022-2023 but recovering strongly after 2024, indicating enhanced short-term liquidity protection against liabilities. Overall, liquidity metrics improved notably from late 2024 onward, suggesting a more favorable financial position in recent quarters.
