Current Assets Trend
Current assets exhibit an overall upward trend over the analyzed period. Starting at approximately 3.2 billion US dollars in mid-2005, current assets experienced fluctuations but generally increased, reaching over 10 billion US dollars by mid-2024. Notable growth periods include a significant rise between 2016 and 2024, where the value more than doubled from approximately 4.4 billion to over 10 billion. This suggests an expanding asset base possibly linked to growth in operations or increased liquidity management.
Current Liabilities Trend
Current liabilities display a rising pattern as well, although the increase is less steep compared to current assets. Beginning at around 932 million US dollars in mid-2005, liabilities rose steadily with some minor fluctuations, culminating at about 4.7 billion US dollars by mid-2024. The liabilities growth, while substantial, remains proportionally lower than the increase in current assets.
Current Ratio Analysis
The current ratio, representing the coverage of current liabilities by current assets, shows a decline over the period despite the growth in absolute asset and liability values. Initially, the ratio was high at 3.44 in mid-2005 and peaked above 5.0 in 2013-2014, indicating strong short-term liquidity during that phase. However, from 2014 onwards, the current ratio steadily decreased, reaching approximately 2.15 by mid-2024. This downward trend suggests that although current assets are increasing, current liabilities are growing at a relatively faster or more consistent pace, leading to a reduced margin of short-term financial safety. Despite the decline, a current ratio above 2.0 still indicates a generally healthy liquidity position.
Overall Insights
The financial data reveal an expansion in both current assets and current liabilities, with the company's liquidity position remaining solid but showing signs of relative weakening based on the current ratio metric. The peak current ratio period (2013-2014) may reflect a period of conservative liability management or asset accumulation, whereas the recent lower ratios imply increased operational leverage or more aggressive short-term financing. Monitoring the continuing trend of liabilities relative to assets will be important to maintain sufficient liquidity buffers.
