- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibits a generally stable pattern over the observed period, fluctuating mostly between 2.2 and 2.7. Initially, it shows a gradual decline from 2.72 to around 2.33 in early 2022, followed by a slight improvement and stabilization between 2.3 and 2.6 in subsequent quarters. A notable dip to 1.91 occurs towards the end of 2023, indicating a temporary decrease in short-term liquidity, but this is followed by a recovery, reaching 2.69 by mid-2025. Overall, the current ratio suggests the company maintains a healthy level of current assets relative to current liabilities, with occasional short-term variability.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio trends similarly to the current ratio but with lower values, reflecting stricter liquidity measurement excluding inventory. Starting around 1.76, it decreases gradually to a low of 1.13 by late 2023, indicating a tightening in the company's immediate liquidity position during that time. However, from early 2024 onwards, there is a consistent upward trend, reaching 1.72 by mid-2025. This recovery suggests improved availability of liquid assets, such as cash and receivables, to cover current liabilities in the more recent periods.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio remains the lowest among the three liquidity measures and displays more pronounced fluctuations. Beginning above 1.1, the ratio decreases steadily, hitting a low near 0.73 by the end of 2023, which implies reduced cash and cash equivalents relative to current liabilities in that timeframe. From 2024 forward, the cash ratio gradually rebounds, climbing back to 1.16 by mid-2025. This indicates that the company restored its cash reserves to a level where it can cover current obligations solely with cash and equivalents, enhancing the most conservative measure of liquidity.
- Summary
- The overall liquidity position as measured by the current, quick, and cash ratios shows periods of relative strength and weakness. A consistent pattern is the dip in all three ratios toward the end of 2023, indicating a temporary liquidity tightening. Subsequent quarters demonstrate marked recovery and improvement, suggesting effective management of working capital and cash resources. The company appears to maintain solid short-term financial health, with the ability to meet current liabilities through a combination of assets, liquid assets, and cash reserves, although with some variability over time.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 10,901,160 ÷ 4,049,970 = 2.69
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Current assets
- Current assets exhibit a steady upward trend over the observed period. Starting from approximately 4.75 billion USD in September 2020, there is consistent growth through the years, reaching over 10.9 billion USD by September 2025. Notable increases occur in several quarters, particularly between June 2023 and September 2025, indicating the company's expanding liquidity position in the short term.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities also show a general increase from around 1.75 billion USD in September 2020 to just over 4 billion USD in September 2025. The growth trend is, however, less consistent with some fluctuations. For instance, liabilities peak near 4.57 billion USD in December 2023 but then decrease by the end of the period to approximately 4 billion USD. This suggests some volatility in obligations due within one year, but overall liabilities have more than doubled.
- Current ratio
- The current ratio reflects the relationship between current assets and current liabilities and ranges from 1.91 to 2.72 during the observed quarters. Initially, it starts above 2.7 in September 2020, indicating a comfortable liquidity buffer. There is a gradual decline in this ratio, reaching a low point below 2.0 in December 2023, likely reflecting the faster growth of current liabilities compared to current assets in this timeframe. After this trough, the ratio recovers consistently to roughly 2.69 by September 2025, signaling an improvement in short-term financial health and the company’s ability to cover current obligations with current assets.
- Overall insight
- The financial data suggest a company experiencing growth in both assets and liabilities, with assets increasing at a slightly higher pace. The current ratio's dip in late 2023 indicates a period of tighter liquidity, but subsequent recovery demonstrates strengthened asset management or liability control. The sustained current ratios above 2 throughout most of the timeline indicate a generally strong liquidity position, reducing short-term financial risk. Monitoring the fluctuations in current liabilities could be important to manage potential liquidity pressures.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends regarding liquidity and the management of current assets and liabilities over the observed periods.
- Total Quick Assets
- The total quick assets exhibited a generally upward trend from September 30, 2020, through March 31, 2025. Starting at approximately $3.07 billion, these assets rose steadily to peak around $6.96 billion in September 2025. Some fluctuations were noted, particularly noticeable dips occurred around March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024; however, the overall progression indicates growth in liquid assets available to the company.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities also increased over the period but with more volatility. Beginning at approximately $1.75 billion in late 2020, liabilities escalated to around $4.58 billion by December 2023, marking a significant rise. Subsequently, the level of current liabilities showed some stabilization and slight decreases, particularly notable during late 2024 and mid-2025, settling near $4.05 billion by September 2025. This pattern suggests active management of short-term obligations with periods of both accumulation and reduction.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio, a key indicator of short-term liquidity, demonstrated a declining trend from a high of 1.81 in mid-2021 to a low of 1.13 at the end of 2023. This decline indicates a reduction in the relative liquidity position during this period, implying that quick assets were somewhat less able to cover current liabilities. However, beginning in early 2024, the quick ratio began to improve consistently, rising back above 1.7 by September 2025, reflecting strengthened liquidity and enhanced capacity to meet short-term obligations with liquid assets.
In summary, while total quick assets and current liabilities both increased substantially over the studied timeframe, current liabilities grew at a faster pace initially, contributing to a weakening quick ratio. Subsequent periods showed improved liquidity as the company managed to increase quick assets relative to liabilities, as reflected in the recovery of the quick ratio to healthier levels. These trends highlight a focus on balancing asset growth with prudent liability management to maintain adequate short-term financial strength.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in the liquidity and short-term financial position over the examined period.
- Total Cash Assets
- Total cash assets demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory from September 30, 2020, through March 31, 2024, with values rising from approximately 2.04 billion US dollars to over 4.29 billion US dollars. This increase indicates a strengthening cash position over this timeframe. However, subsequent quarters show some volatility, with a decline noted in December 31, 2024, before rebounding again by September 30, 2025, reaching approximately 4.68 billion US dollars. This suggests overall growth in liquid assets despite occasional fluctuations.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities also increased significantly within the period from September 30, 2020, to December 31, 2023, starting at about 1.75 billion US dollars and rising to approximately 4.57 billion US dollars. After peaking, current liabilities exhibit variability, decreasing somewhat in 2024 and 2025, with amounts fluctuating around the 4.0 to 4.8 billion US dollars range. This pattern indicates an expansion in short-term obligations initially, followed by attempts to manage or reduce liabilities toward the latter quarters.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, measuring the company's ability to cover current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, shows a declining trend from 1.17 at the end of September 2020 to a low point of 0.73 in December 2023. This decline suggests diminishing immediate liquidity to cover current liabilities during this period. From December 2023 onward, the cash ratio recovers steadily, rising again to 1.16 by September 2025, indicating improved liquidity and a stronger short-term financial position in the most recent quarters.
Overall, the company demonstrated growth in total cash assets alongside rising current liabilities. This simultaneous increase resulted in a reduced cash ratio for several years, signaling a tighter liquidity position. Nevertheless, the subsequent improvement in the cash ratio after late 2023 reflects strengthened liquidity, supported by continued growth in cash assets and moderated current liabilities. This pattern suggests enhanced financial flexibility entering the most recent periods.
