Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Intel Corp., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-01), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-02).
The liquidity profile exhibits a distinct cyclical pattern characterized by a prolonged period of contraction followed by a rapid recovery. From early 2022 through mid-2025, all measured liquidity metrics showed a consistent downward trajectory, suggesting a tightening of the short-term financial position. However, beginning in the second half of 2025, a significant reversal occurred, returning liquidity levels to or above the initial 2022 benchmarks.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio declined from a peak of 2.13 in April 2022 to a trough of 1.24 in June 2025. This trend indicates a gradual reduction in the margin of safety for covering short-term obligations. The ratio subsequently experienced a sharp ascent, reaching 2.31 by March 2026, representing the highest liquidity level observed in the sequence.
- Quick Ratio
- A similar erosion is evident in the quick ratio, which fell from 1.56 in April 2022 to a low of 0.67 in June 2025. Notably, the ratio remained below the critical 1.00 threshold for a significant duration between September 2023 and June 2025, suggesting that immediate liquid assets were insufficient to cover current liabilities without relying on inventory liquidation. The ratio recovered strongly to 1.37 by March 2026.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio mirrored the broader liquidity decline, dropping from 1.32 in April 2022 to 0.61 in June 2025. This downward movement reflects a reduction in the most liquid assets relative to current liabilities. A sharp rebound occurred starting in September 2025, with the ratio climbing back to 1.22 by March 2026.
The convergence of these trends suggests a period of heightened capital expenditure or liquidity consumption that peaked in mid-2025. The subsequent rapid improvement across all three metrics indicates a successful liquidity restoration or a substantial influx of cash reserves toward the conclusion of the reporting period.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
Liquidity analysis reveals a distinct cyclical pattern characterized by a multi-year contraction in short-term solvency followed by a rapid recovery in the final quarters of the observed period.
- Current Ratio Trajectory
- The current ratio experienced a sustained decline from a high of 2.13 in April 2022 to a minimum of 1.24 in June 2025. This downward trend indicates a prolonged period of tightening liquidity and a reduced margin for meeting short-term obligations. However, a sharp reversal occurred between June 2025 and March 2026, during which the ratio ascended to 2.31, marking the strongest liquidity position in the analyzed timeframe.
- Current Asset Fluctuations
- Current assets exhibited a significant downward trend for the first three years, falling from 62,568 million USD in April 2022 to a low of 42,134 million USD in December 2024. A substantial recovery phase began in mid-2025, with assets climbing back to 62,157 million USD by March 2026. This resurgence in liquid assets served as the primary driver for the overall improvement in the liquidity ratio.
- Current Liability Trends
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable throughout 2022 and 2023, fluctuating between 27,180 million USD and 32,155 million USD. A period of increased liability pressure was observed in 2024, with a peak of 35,666 million USD in September 2024. This peak, coinciding with depressed asset levels, contributed to the compression of the current ratio. By March 2026, liabilities decreased to 26,885 million USD, further amplifying the recovery of the liquidity position.
The synchronization of rising current assets and falling current liabilities in late 2025 and early 2026 resulted in a significant strengthening of the company's short-term financial health, effectively offsetting the erosion of liquidity observed between 2022 and 2025.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 36,855 ÷ 26,885 = 1.37
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The liquidity position of the entity exhibited a significant U-shaped trajectory between April 2022 and March 2026, characterized by a prolonged period of decline followed by a sharp recovery in the final quarters of the observed period.
- Quick Asset Trends
- Total quick assets experienced a sustained decrease from a peak of 45,770 million USD in April 2022 to a trough of 23,566 million USD by June 2025. This downward trend represented a substantial reduction in immediately available liquid resources. However, a rapid reversal occurred in the latter half of 2025, with assets spiking to 41,255 million USD by December 2025 before stabilizing at 36,855 million USD in March 2026.
- Current Liability Trends
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable between 27,000 million USD and 32,000 million USD for much of 2022 and 2023. A period of increased pressure emerged between June 2024 and December 2024, where liabilities peaked at 35,666 million USD. A subsequent reduction in these obligations was observed toward the end of the period, falling to 26,885 million USD by March 2026.
- Quick Ratio Interpretation
- The quick ratio declined from 1.56 in April 2022 to a critical low of 0.67 in June 2025. For a significant portion of the period between September 2023 and June 2025, the ratio remained below the 1.0 threshold, indicating that liquid assets were insufficient to cover current liabilities without relying on inventory liquidation. This liquidity strain was most acute in late 2024. The recovery phase began in September 2025, with the ratio climbing back to 1.06 and eventually reaching 1.37 by March 2026, signaling a return to a strong short-term solvency position.
The overall analysis suggests a period of tightening liquidity and increasing short-term obligations that culminated in mid-2025, followed by an aggressive restoration of liquid reserves and a reduction in current liabilities to improve the organization's financial flexibility.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 32,789 ÷ 26,885 = 1.22
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The cash ratio exhibits a cyclical pattern of contraction and recovery over the analyzed period, indicating fluctuating levels of immediate liquidity available to cover short-term obligations.
- Liquidity Erosion Phase (April 2022 – December 2023)
- A notable decline in the cash ratio is observed from an initial high of 1.32 in April 2022 to 0.89 by December 2023. This downward trajectory was primarily driven by a significant reduction in total cash assets, which fell from $38,696 million to $25,034 million. While current liabilities remained relatively stable during this window, the reduction in cash reserves weakened the immediate liquidity position to below the 1.0 threshold for the majority of the period.
- Liquidity Trough (March 2024 – June 2025)
- The most constrained period of liquidity occurred between March 2024 and June 2025. The cash ratio reached its lowest point of 0.61 in June 2025. This deterioration was the result of a dual pressure: total cash assets reached their nadir at $21,048 million in March 2025, while current liabilities peaked at $35,666 million in September 2024. This phase represents a period where cash on hand covered only approximately 61% of current liabilities.
- Recovery and Rebound (September 2025 – March 2026)
- A sharp recovery in liquidity is evident in the final three quarters. The cash ratio ascended from 0.96 in September 2025 to 1.22 by March 2026. This turnaround was facilitated by a substantial increase in total cash assets, which peaked at $37,416 million in December 2025, coinciding with a reduction in current liabilities to $26,885 million. By the end of the period, the ratio returned to a position where cash assets exceeded total current liabilities.
Overall, the trend indicates a period of significant liquidity stress that peaked in mid-2025, followed by a rapid restoration of cash reserves and a reduction in short-term debt, returning the entity to a strong immediate liquidity posture by early 2026.
