Current Assets
The current assets exhibited a generally upward trend from 2005 to 2025. Starting at $1,305 million in early 2005, current assets increased steadily over the years with occasional accelerations. Notably, a strong surge appeared between 2021 and 2025, where current assets rose sharply from $16,055 million in 2021 to $80,126 million by early 2025. This represents a significant expansion in liquid or near-liquid resources available within the company.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities have also risen over the period but with more volatility relative to current assets. Beginning at $421 million in 2005, current liabilities showed fluctuations with periods of both rapid increase and temporary decreases. There was a notable peak in 2016 at $2,351 million followed by a decline and then another pronounced rise from 2021 onwards, reaching $18,047 million in early 2025. This suggests an increase in short-term obligations consistent with the scaling up of assets.
Current Ratio
The current ratio, an indicator of short-term liquidity, exhibited variability but generally remained above 3.0 from 2005 through 2025, indicating a healthy liquidity position for most years. Periods of particularly strong liquidity appeared in 2013 and 2014, with ratios reaching 5.95 and 6.38 respectively, and again in 2017 to 2019 with ratios hovering around 4.77 up to 8.03. A dip in 2016 to 2.57 was observed, which represents a temporary decrease in liquidity, but it rapidly recovered afterwards. The ratio moderated somewhat in the most recent years but continued to indicate sufficient current assets to cover liabilities, finishing at 4.44 in 2025.
Overall Insights
The company's liquidity position improved significantly over the two decades, supported by substantial growth in current assets that outpaced the rise in current liabilities. The maintenance of a current ratio well above the threshold of 1.0 throughout the period highlights effective working capital management and a strong ability to meet short-term obligations. The marked increase in both current assets and liabilities after 2020 signals considerable business expansion, which has been accompanied by prudent management of liquid resources.
