Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Intel Corp., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 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), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-25), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-25), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-26), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-27).
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio initially showed a gradual increase from 1.9 to a peak of 2.13 between March 2021 and April 2022. Following this peak, the ratio declined steadily, reaching a low of 1.24 by June 2025. A slight rebound to 1.6 was observed in the last period. This indicates a general reduction in short-term liquidity over time with some periods of stabilization.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio demonstrated a moderate upward trend until April 2022, climbing from 1.23 to 1.56. After this peak, it decreased continuously to a trough of 0.67 by June 2025, representing a sharper drop in liquid assets relative to current liabilities than the current ratio. The ratio experienced a recovery to 1.06 in the final period, suggesting some improvement in liquidity in the most recent quarter.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio trends largely mirrored those of the quick ratio, with an increase from 0.93 to 1.32 through April 2022, indicating a strengthening of immediate cash availability early on. This was followed by a decline to a low of 0.61 by June 2025, highlighting a reduction in the most liquid resources on hand relative to current obligations. There was a noticeable increase to 0.96 in the final reported period, denoting an improvement in cash reserves closer to the end of the observed timeframe.
- Overall Analysis
- All three liquidity ratios improved gradually until approximately early 2022, indicating enhanced ability to meet short-term liabilities during this period. Post-April 2022, a consistent decline occurred across all ratios, reflecting deteriorating liquidity and potentially higher short-term risk. The recovery observed in the final quarter suggests recent efforts or changes that may have improved liquidity conditions. The sharper declines in quick and cash ratios compared to the current ratio imply a greater reduction in more liquid assets during the downtrend, possibly signaling a shift in the composition of current assets.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 51,731 ÷ 32,297 = 1.60
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial analysis reveals observable variations in the liquidity position over multiple quarters. The current assets fluctuated, with a peak around the end of 2021 and early 2022 periods, followed by a decline through mid-2023 before showing some recovery toward the later quarters, especially notable around mid-2024 and the last recorded quarter. This movement indicates periodic adjustments in asset holdings or conversion into cash equivalents.
Concurrently, current liabilities demonstrated an overall increasing trend, notably rising after the first quarter of 2022 and peaking in mid-2024. Although some quarters show minor reductions, the general pattern suggests increased short-term obligations, which may impact liquidity management strategies.
The current ratio, a key indicator of short-term financial health, started above 2.0 around 2021 and early 2022, signifying a comfortable liquidity buffer. However, from mid-2022 onward, the ratio declined noticeably, dropping below 1.6 in most subsequent quarters, with the lowest points recorded in mid-2024 and mid-2025. This declining trend reflects tighter liquidity, where current liabilities approach or exceed current assets, posing potential risks in meeting short-term obligations without additional financing or operational adjustments.
Overall, the data indicate a shift from a strong liquidity position toward a more constrained environment over the analyzed timeframe. This trend warrants close monitoring as maintaining an adequate current ratio is essential for operational stability and avoiding liquidity crises.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 34,137 ÷ 32,297 = 1.06
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Quick Assets
- The total quick assets exhibit fluctuations over the observed periods, starting at $29,605 million and reaching a peak of $45,770 million in early 2022. Following this peak, the values show a general decline with intermittent recoveries, ending at approximately $34,137 million in the latest period. The overall trend indicates some volatility in liquid assets, with a notable decrease after the first quarter of 2022 until a resurgence emerges toward the most recent quarter.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities demonstrate a somewhat upward trend across the periods. Beginning at $24,151 million, liabilities increase steadily, peaking near $35,666 million by late 2024 before decreasing marginally to about $32,297 million in the latest period. This rise in current liabilities suggests growing short-term obligations, which may impact liquidity and working capital management.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio begins at 1.23 and improves to a high of 1.56 by early 2022, reflecting strong short-term liquidity. However, following this peak, the ratio declines consistently, dipping below 1.0 from mid-2023 onwards, indicating the company's quick assets are no longer sufficient to cover current liabilities without selling inventory. The ratio reaches its lowest at 0.67 before recovering to 1.06 in the last recorded quarter. This pattern highlights periods of weaker liquidity management, with some recent improvement.
- Overall Analysis
- The interplay between total quick assets and current liabilities suggests a period of robust liquidity in early 2022, followed by a gradual tightening of liquidity conditions. The decline in the quick ratio below 1.0 for several quarters indicates potential short-term financial pressure. The latest quarter shows a recovery in the quick ratio, possibly due to an increase in quick assets or a reduction in liabilities, signaling a renewed focus on liquid asset management. The evolving figures warrant close monitoring to ensure continued short-term financial stability.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in key liquidity measures over the examined periods.
- Total Cash Assets
- Total cash assets demonstrated volatility across the quarters, with values ranging between approximately US$21 billion and US$39 billion. A peak was observed in early 2022 before a decline in mid-2022, followed by fluctuating levels without a clear upward or downward trend through the end of 2025. This variability suggests changes in cash management or operational cash flow responding to external or internal factors.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities generally showed an increasing trend over the period, starting from about US$24 billion and reaching highs near US$36 billion at times. Although some quarters evidenced small declines, the overall pattern indicates a growth in short-term obligations, which may reflect rising operational costs, increased short-term debt, or timing differences in payable cycles.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, which measures the company’s ability to cover current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, varied notably. Initial values hovered around or above 1.0, indicating strong liquidity in earlier quarters. From 2022 onward, the ratio declined below 1.0 in many quarters, reaching lows around 0.61 to 0.69, suggesting a relatively weaker liquidity position during these times. The ratio displayed some recovery towards the very end of the data, closing near 0.96, which implies a potential improvement in liquidity or cash management practices.
Overall, the data reflects fluctuating cash reserves combined with a general increase in current liabilities, leading to periods of constrained liquidity as evidenced by the cash ratio trending below par in several quarters. The recent uptick in the cash ratio may indicate strategic efforts to strengthen short-term financial stability.
