The analysis of the liquidity ratios over the reported quarters reveals notable trends and fluctuations.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited overall variability with a peak around the end of 2021, reaching values slightly above 2.1, indicating a strong ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets during that period. However, from 2022 onwards, there was a gradual decline in the current ratio, dropping below 1.6 in early 2023 and further decreasing to approximately 1.24 by mid-2025. This suggests a diminishing buffer of current assets relative to current liabilities over the later periods, potentially signaling tighter liquidity conditions or changes in the company's asset/liability management strategy.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a somewhat similar trajectory but at a lower magnitude compared to the current ratio, reflecting the exclusion of inventories from liquid assets. The ratio reached its highest point near 1.56 in early 2022, but thereafter, it showed a consistent downward trend, falling below 1.0 from early 2023 onward and reaching around 0.67 by mid-2025. This indicates a reduction in easily liquidatable assets relative to current liabilities, which might point to increased reliance on inventory or less readily convertible assets for liquidity.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, representing the most stringent measure of liquidity by considering only cash and cash equivalents, demonstrated pronounced fluctuations. It peaked near 1.32 in early 2022 but generally declined thereafter with intermittent recoveries. The ratio dropped below 1.0 post-2022, eventually reaching roughly 0.61 by mid-2025. This decline in cash reserves relative to current liabilities could imply tighter cash management or increased short-term obligations.
In summary, the liquidity position based on these ratios shows a contraction from periods of robust liquidity around 2021-early 2022 towards a more constrained liquidity environment by mid-2025. The progressive decrease across all three ratios may warrant closer observation of working capital management and the underlying causes of reduced liquidity buffers over the reported periods.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 43,375 ÷ 34,966 = 1.24
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Current Assets
- The current assets exhibited fluctuations over the observed periods, beginning at approximately $41.5 billion and reaching a peak near $61.3 billion toward late 2021. Following this peak, there is a general declining trend with intermittent recoveries, tapering off to about $43.4 billion by mid-2025. The initial rise suggests a growing liquidity position, which later consolidates into a more moderate level, indicating potential changes in asset management or shifts in operational needs.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities started at roughly $23.9 billion and showed an overall upward trajectory, peaking in the range of $35.7 billion around mid-2025. This gradual increase in short-term obligations may reflect either expanded operational scale or altered financing strategies. The incremental growth suggests that liabilities outpaced the growth in current assets during the later periods, impacting liquidity ratios.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio illustrates the company's short-term liquidity over time, beginning above 1.7 and improving to values slightly above 2.0 in late 2021, indicating relatively strong ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets during that period. However, from 2022 onwards, a downward trend is evident, descending to approximately 1.24 by mid-2025. This decline signals a diminishing buffer of current assets relative to current liabilities, potentially raising concerns about short-term financial flexibility. The ratio, while still above 1.0, suggests that liquidity has become tighter compared to earlier periods.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 23,566 ÷ 34,966 = 0.67
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data exhibits notable fluctuations in the company's liquidity position as reflected by total quick assets, current liabilities, and the quick ratio across the observed periods.
- Total Quick Assets
- Total quick assets show considerable variability over the quarters. Starting at approximately $29.3 billion in March 2020, these assets experienced increases and decreases, reaching a peak near $45.8 billion in April 2022. Subsequent quarters saw a decline, with values dropping to around $23.6 billion by June 2025. This suggests periods of asset accumulation followed by reductions possibly related to operational needs or strategic financial management.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable with some upward trends, starting at about $23.9 billion in March 2020 and increasing to a range between roughly $27.2 billion and $35.9 billion in the later periods. The increasing trend in liabilities, particularly observed from early 2023 onward, indicates growing short-term obligations which may pressure liquidity if not managed correspondingly with assets.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio, which measures the ability to cover current liabilities with quick assets, demonstrates a declining trend throughout the timeline. Initial values were above 1.2 in early 2020, occasionally rising to around 1.5 indicating strong liquidity. However, from 2022 onward, the ratio progressively declined, falling below 1.0 in several quarters and reaching as low as 0.67 by June 2025. This downward trajectory highlights increasing challenges in maintaining liquid asset coverage of short-term liabilities, suggesting potential liquidity concerns if the trend persists.
Overall, while total quick assets initially showed growth with intermittent fluctuations, the consistent increase in current liabilities coupled with the decreasing quick ratio points to a tightening liquidity position. The company’s ability to meet short-term obligations from its most liquid assets appears to weaken over time, warranting attention to cash management and liability controls in future periods.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Cash Assets
- The total cash assets exhibit notable fluctuations over the observed periods. Initially, there is a rise from 20,803 million USD in March 2020 to a peak of 34,635 million USD in September 2021. Following this peak, the cash assets decline generally, reaching approximately 21,206 million USD by June 2025. Despite some intermittent increases, the longer-term trend from late 2021 to mid-2025 indicates a gradual decrease in cash holdings.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities show an increasing trend over the same timeframe. Starting from 23,895 million USD in March 2020, liabilities fluctuate but generally grow to reach 34,966 million USD by June 2025. The increase appears relatively steady, with no prolonged periods of significant decrease, indicating rising short-term financial obligations.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, which measures liquidity by comparing cash assets to current liabilities, reflects a volatile but overall declining pattern. It starts at 0.87 in March 2020, peaks several times above 1.0 during mid-2020 to late 2021, reaching the highest ratio of 1.32 in April 2022. From that point forward, the ratio consistently declines, falling below 1 and reaching as low as 0.61 by June 2025. This suggests weakening liquidity over time, implying that cash assets are becoming insufficient relative to current liabilities.
- Summary
- Over the examined quarters, the company’s liquidity position appears to deteriorate. Despite fluctuations in total cash assets, their peak in late 2021 was followed by a downward trend. Concurrently, current liabilities have risen steadily, exerting pressure on the liquidity measures. This is confirmed by the cash ratio, which initially hovered around or above 1 but subsequently declined below 1, indicating reduced ability to cover short-term obligations solely with cash. These trends suggest increasing financial risk from a liquidity perspective moving forward.
