1 US$ in millions


The analysis of the financial data over the reported periods reveals notable trends in the liquidity position as reflected by the current assets, current liabilities, and the current ratio.

Current Assets
Current assets generally exhibit an upward trend from 48,737 million US dollars in mid-2005 to a peak of 184,406 million US dollars in mid-2021. Thereafter, a decline occurs until mid-2023, followed by a slight recovery by mid-2025. These fluctuations suggest periods of asset accumulation and subsequent contraction.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased substantially from 16,877 million US dollars in mid-2005 to 141,218 million US dollars by mid-2025. The growth in liabilities is consistent and more pronounced than that of current assets, indicating rising short-term obligations over the two decades.
Current Ratio
The current ratio starts relatively high at 2.89 in mid-2005, declines steadily to 1.27 in mid-2024, and marginally improves to 1.35 in mid-2025. This trend reflects a decreasing cushion in the company's ability to meet its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. The most notable deterioration occurs post-2010, with the ratio falling below the generally accepted safe threshold of 2.0 and approaching values near 1.3, signifying tighter liquidity conditions.

Overall, while current assets expanded considerably over the analyzed period, current liabilities grew at a faster pace. This dynamic exerted downward pressure on the current ratio, signaling a weakening liquidity position. The narrowing margin for covering short-term obligations suggests increased risk or a possible strategic shift toward leveraging working capital more tightly.
