- Current Ratio Trends
- The current ratio exhibits fluctuations over the observed periods, starting at a relatively high level of 3.09 and reaching its lowest points around 1.17 to 1.18 in early 2022 and early 2024. Following these troughs, the ratio tends to recover modestly, moving back above 1.3 in subsequent quarters. The overall trend suggests a decline from the initial exceptionally strong liquidity position towards a more moderate but stable level above 1.2, indicating that the company's ability to cover short-term obligations with current assets has slightly decreased but remains adequate.
- Quick Ratio Trends
- The quick ratio mirrors the variability seen in the current ratio but generally remains below it, reflecting the exclusion of inventory from liquid assets. It shows a pronounced dip around January 2022 and early 2024, with the lowest values at 0.55 and 0.54 respectively, indicating tighter liquidity excluding inventory. There is a pattern of partial recovery after these declines, though the quick ratio often stays below or slightly above 1.0 in many quarters. This pattern points to possible challenges in rapidly liquidating assets for immediate obligations during those times, signaling relatively weaker short-term liquidity compared to earlier periods.
- Cash Ratio Trends
- The cash ratio, representing the most conservative liquidity measure, also declines notably over time. It begins at a strong 2.69 but decreases to lows near 0.24 to 0.39 in certain quarters, particularly in early 2024 and 2025, indicating a substantial reduction in the company's cash and cash equivalents relative to current liabilities. Although occasional increases are observed, the cash ratio largely trends downward, reflecting a strategic or situational diminishment of cash reserves. This could imply reduced cash buffers available for meeting urgent liabilities, increasing reliance on other current assets or short-term financing.
- Overall Liquidity Analysis
- All three liquidity ratios indicate an overall decline in liquidity strength from 2020 through 2025, with current ratio maintaining relatively better levels than the quick and cash ratios. The sustained dips particularly in quick and cash ratios suggest a gradual reduction in highly liquid assets such as cash and receivables, while the more stable current ratio implies that current asset composition or inventory levels may partly compensate. This trend calls for monitoring to ensure liquidity remains sufficient to meet liabilities without undue risk.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in the liquidity position of the company over the observed periods.
- Current Assets
- Current assets demonstrate considerable variability throughout the quarters, ranging from a low point around 3,490 million US dollars to peaks exceeding 14,000 million US dollars. The data reflects cyclical fluctuations with some quarters showing significant increases, especially starting from the end of 2023 and continuing into 2025, where the highest values are recorded. This suggests periods of increasing liquidity and possibly accumulated receivables or inventory.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities generally exhibit an upward trend over the course of the period but with more moderate fluctuations compared to current assets. The liabilities reach their highest values in 2024 and early 2025, aligning with the peaks in current assets, which could indicate increased operational scale or short-term obligations.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio fluctuates notably across the quarters, starting from a high of 3.09 and then dropping to values near or below 1.5 in many periods. From 2021 onward, the ratio tends to hover around 1.2 to 1.5, indicating tighter liquidity compared to the earlier quarters. Despite fluctuations in both current assets and liabilities, the ratio remains above 1 throughout, suggesting the company consistently maintains sufficient short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities. However, the downward trend from over 3.0 to values closer to 1.3 suggests a relative decrease in liquidity cushion.
In summary, the company's short-term financial position shows variability with a general increase in absolute current asset and liability values over time, and a corresponding moderation in liquidity ratios. This pattern may indicate growth in scale accompanied by more balanced management of working capital, though the reduction in current ratio values from very high levels to a narrower range suggests a shift towards more leveraged or efficient use of current resources.

- Trend in Total Quick Assets
- Total quick assets display notable volatility across the observed quarters, fluctuating between lows near 2,300 million USD and highs exceeding 8,200 million USD. Initially, there is a general decline from approximately 5,900 million USD down to about 2,300 million USD, followed by periodic recoveries and fluctuations. A significant increase is observed starting around early 2024, reaching peaks above 8,200 million USD before moderating again towards the latter quarters. This pattern suggests intermittent accumulation and depletion of highly liquid assets, possibly reflecting shifts in operational or investment activities.
- Trend in Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities have generally increased over the timeframe, moving from about 2,100 million USD at the beginning to values surpassing 10,300 million USD at the peak. The trend indicates a steady buildup of short-term obligations, with some quarters showing sharp increases, particularly from late 2022 onwards. This rising liability level could indicate heightened operational scale, increased borrowing, or other obligations maturing within the short term.
- Trend in Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio exhibits substantial decline overall, starting at a strong 2.74 and trending downward to levels as low as 0.54 during certain periods. While there are intermittent recoveries — for example, returning near or above 1.0 at some points — the predominant pattern shows the ratio consistently below the commonly accepted benchmark of 1.0 in many quarters, particularly in the latter half of the data series. This trend suggests increasing short-term liquidity pressure, where quick assets may not be sufficient to cover current liabilities promptly.
- Insights and Implications
- The divergence between the upward trend in current liabilities and the fluctuating but comparatively less steady total quick assets has resulted in a declining quick ratio over time. This may imply growing liquidity risk or a shift in the company’s working capital management, potentially indicating tighter cash flows or greater reliance on longer-term or less liquid assets. Periodic improvements in the quick ratio coincide with increases in quick assets, hinting at times when liquidity management was strengthened or short-term obligations temporarily reduced. However, the overall pattern underlines a cautious need for monitoring liquidity, as the company frequently operates near or below the quick ratio threshold, which may affect its ability to meet immediate liabilities without additional financing.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 3,696 ÷ 7,519 = 0.49
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Cash Assets
- The total cash assets exhibit a fluctuating pattern over the examined periods. Initially, there is a notable decrease from a high level, followed by intermittent recoveries and declines. Peaks occur around April 2024 and April 2025, reaching values above 6,000 million USD, while troughs appear in the early 2022 period and several points thereafter, hitting lows near 1,400 to 1,500 million USD. This suggests variability in liquidity management or operational cash flows across quarters.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities demonstrate a generally increasing trend throughout the timeframe. From just over 2,100 million USD in late 2020, current liabilities rise steadily with some minor fluctuations, peaking above 10,000 million USD by early 2025. This significant growth indicates expanded short-term obligations, possibly reflecting increased operating expenses, accrued liabilities, or financing activities requiring closer monitoring of short-term liquidity risk.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, which measures the ability to cover current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, shows a clear declining trend. Starting at a strong ratio near 2.7, the ratio drops sharply in early 2022 and remains below 1.0 for the majority of subsequent quarters, reaching lows around 0.24 to 0.39, with sporadic modest recoveries. This decline signals a weakening liquidity position relative to current liabilities over time, suggesting that cash reserves are becoming insufficient to fully cover short-term obligations without additional sources of liquidity.
- Summary of Insights
- The company’s quarters show increasing current liabilities alongside variable but generally insufficient cash assets to maintain a strong liquidity buffer, as reflected by the declining cash ratio. The persistent downward movement in cash ratio, despite occasional increases in cash assets, highlights heightened liquidity risk and potentially greater reliance on other forms of current asset conversion or financing strategies to meet obligations. Management may need to address this trend to ensure continued short-term financial stability.
