The analysis of the liquidity ratios over the periods from March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2025, reveals several noteworthy trends in the company's short-term financial health and ability to cover its current liabilities.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibits some initial volatility, starting at 4.21 in March 2020, dropping to a low of 2.12 in June 2020, and then gradually recovering and maintaining a generally upward trajectory. From the end of 2020 onwards, the ratio stabilizes above 3.0, with a pronounced increase beginning in March 2022, consistently remaining above 4.5 through late 2024. There is a slight decline observed toward mid-2025, with the ratio ending at 4.6. Overall, the company shows an improving ability to cover its short-term liabilities with current assets, indicating strong liquidity management.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio follows a pattern similar to the current ratio but with slightly lower values, reflecting the exclusion of less liquid current assets such as inventory. The ratio begins at 3.38 in March 2020, declines sharply to 1.61 by June 2020, then recovers progressively. From early 2022, it consistently stays above 4.0, peaking around 4.54 in March 2023 and maintaining a strong position slightly above 4.0 through most of 2024. However, a minor decrease is noted in 2025, with the ratio falling below 4.0 by June 2025. This trend confirms the company’s robust short-term liquidity, excluding inventory, with a minor easing in the most recent periods.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, the most conservative liquidity measure, shows a more gradual but clear increase over the analysis period. It starts at 1.95 in March 2020 and decreases to a low of 0.85 by June 2020. Subsequently, it demonstrates a steady upward trend, often remaining above 2.0 from March 2022 onward. The highest recorded value is 3.17 in December 2023, indicating an emphasis on maintaining cash and cash equivalents to cover current liabilities. Towards mid-2025, the ratio slightly decreases but remains above 2.0, underscoring a cautious liquidity stance with considerable cash reserves relative to short-term obligations.
In summary, all three liquidity ratios present a recovery and strengthening trend following mid-2020, highlighting enhanced capacity to meet short-term liabilities. The current and quick ratios suggest that the company effectively manages its current assets to maintain liquidity above typical threshold levels, while the cash ratio indicates a conservative approach to maintaining cash reserves. The minor declines in mid-2025 may warrant monitoring but do not significantly detract from the overall strong liquidity position observed.

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 16,859,500 ÷ 3,667,000 = 4.60
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Current assets
- The current assets exhibit a generally upward trend over the observed quarters. Starting at approximately 8.64 billion US dollars in March 2020, current assets grow with some fluctuations, peaking around 19.48 billion US dollars in December 2023. After this peak, a gradual decline is apparent, with values dropping to about 16.86 billion US dollars by June 2025. Despite this late decrease, the overall trajectory from early 2020 to mid-2025 reflects substantial asset growth.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities show variability without a clear long-term trend. From approximately 2.06 billion US dollars in March 2020, liabilities increase sharply to about 3.7 billion by June 2020, then decrease and fluctuate between roughly 2.3 billion and 4.0 billion over subsequent quarters. Notably, after mid-2024, liabilities tend to remain around 3.5 to 3.9 billion, indicating a relative stabilization compared to earlier volatility.
- Current ratio
- The current ratio displays considerable fluctuations but generally stays well above 2.0 throughout the period, indicating a strong liquidity position. Starting at 4.21 in March 2020, it dips to 2.12 in June 2020, then recovers and trends upward, reaching levels above 5.0 from March 2022 through mid-2024. After mid-2024, the ratio declines slightly but remains robust, staying between 4.6 and 4.9. This pattern suggests effective management of short-term financial obligations relative to assets, with liquidity peaking around 2023 and 2024 before a moderate contraction.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends related to liquidity and short-term financial stability. The key metrics evaluated include total quick assets, current liabilities, and the quick ratio over multiple periods from March 31, 2020, through June 30, 2025.
- Total Quick Assets
- The total quick assets exhibit a general increasing trajectory over the analyzed period despite some fluctuations. Initially, the value decreased from approximately 6.94 billion US dollars in March 2020 to about 5.96 billion by June 2020. Subsequently, there is a consistent upward trend reaching around 16.5 billion by December 2023, marking significant growth in liquid resources. After peaking in late 2023, there is a slight decline observed in 2024 and 2025 quarters, settling near 13.1 billion by mid-2025. This pattern indicates growing liquidity availability with periodic adjustments likely reflecting operational or investment activities.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities show more variability compared to total quick assets. Starting at roughly 2.06 billion US dollars in March 2020, liabilities rose sharply by June 2020 to about 3.7 billion, then fluctuated within a range of approximately 2.3 to 3.9 billion throughout the subsequent quarters. There is a mild upward trend toward the end of the period, with liabilities reaching around 3.67 billion by mid-2025. This behavior suggests variable short-term obligations with periodic increases possibly linked to operational cycles or short-term financing needs.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio, as a measure of liquidity and ability to cover current liabilities with quick assets, generally improved over the period analyzed. Initially, the ratio was high at 3.38 in March 2020 but saw a sharp drop to 1.61 by June 2020, indicating decreased short-term liquidity coverage during this quarter. Following this, the ratio steadily recovered and hovered around values between 2.4 and 3.0 through late 2021. From 2022 onwards, the quick ratio strengthened considerably, peaking above 4.8 in December 2023. However, it experienced a gradual downward adjustment in 2024 and 2025 quarters, moving towards a mid-range level of approximately 3.5 to 3.9 by June 2025. This reflects a generally strong liquidity position, with a temporary weakening in mid-2020 and some moderation in the most recent periods.
In summary, the company’s quick assets grew substantially over the period, strengthening overall liquidity despite some volatility in current liabilities. The quick ratio’s recovery and sustained levels above 3 throughout much of the later periods indicate a strong capacity to meet short-term obligations. The fluctuations observed suggest responsiveness to changing operational demands or market conditions, but the overall trend points to solid liquidity management with ample liquid assets relative to short-term liabilities.

- Total cash assets
-
The total cash assets demonstrate notable fluctuations over the periods analyzed. Starting at approximately 4.00 billion USD in March 2020, a decline is observed through mid-2020, reaching a low near 3.03 billion USD in September 2020. Subsequently, a consistent upward trend emerges, peaking at 10.84 billion USD in December 2023. After this peak, values gradually contract, falling to around 7.47 billion USD by June 2025. This pattern indicates an initial reduction in cash holdings possibly tied to early 2020 events, followed by robust accumulation through 2023, and a moderate decline into 2025.
- Current liabilities
-
Current liabilities depict variability across the timeline with an overall tendency to increase. Beginning at roughly 2.06 billion USD in March 2020, a sharp rise occurs by June 2020, reaching about 3.70 billion USD, before decreasing to an approximate 2.34 billion USD in September 2020. Post this dip, liabilities mostly oscillate between approximately 3.00 billion and 3.94 billion USD, with a tendency to stabilize closer to the upper range from late 2023 onward, culminating near 3.67 billion USD in June 2025. This suggests that liabilities have seen periods of volatility but generally maintain an elevated level compared to early 2020.
- Cash ratio
-
The cash ratio, reflecting liquidity by comparing cash assets to current liabilities, has varied with an initial decline from 1.95 in March 2020 to a low of 0.85 by June 2020, indicating reduced liquidity. Thereafter, the ratio steadily strengthens, exceeding a ratio of 2.0 from March 2022 onward, reaching a peak of 3.17 in December 2023. Following this apex, the ratio gradually decreases but remains above 2.0, finishing at around 2.04 in June 2025. This trend illustrates a meaningful improvement in liquidity after mid-2020, with substantial cash coverage of liabilities through the later periods, despite a moderate reduction after 2023.
- Summary
-
The data reveals an initial phase during early to mid-2020 characterized by reduced cash reserves and liquidity, accompanied by increased current liabilities. From late 2020 through the end of 2023, there is a strong accumulation in cash assets, coupled with moderately high but stable liabilities, leading to enhanced liquidity as evidenced by the elevated cash ratio. Into 2024 and beyond, a decline in total cash assets and cash ratio is noted, though liquidity remains robust above a ratio of 2.0. Overall, the company appears to have strengthened its cash position and liquidity after the initial volatility, sustaining sound financial flexibility with a notable increase in cash relative to liabilities until a partial drawdown beginning in 2024.
