Liquidity ratios measure the company ability to meet its short-term obligations.
Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31).
An analysis of the liquidity position reveals a consistent pattern across all measured ratios, characterized by a period of growth through late 2023 followed by a sustained decline through September 2026. Despite this downward trajectory in the later periods, all ratios remain well above 1.0, indicating a maintained capacity to meet short-term obligations.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited an upward trend from March 2022, starting at 4.76 and reaching a peak of 5.69 by December 2023. Subsequent to this peak, a steady contraction is observed, with the ratio declining to 3.35 by September 2026. This movement suggests a reduction in the margin of current assets relative to current liabilities over the final two years of the period.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a trajectory nearly identical to the current ratio, rising from 3.95 in March 2022 to a high of 4.82 in December 2023. From March 2024 onward, the ratio entered a period of consistent decline, ending at 2.72 in September 2026. The narrow gap between the current and quick ratios suggests that inventory levels do not represent a disproportionate share of current assets.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio demonstrates the most significant volatility and the steepest decline. After peaking at 3.17 in December 2023, the ratio fell to 1.50 by September 2026. This decline indicates a reduction in the most liquid assets—cash and cash equivalents—relative to current liabilities, although the final value still signifies that the entity holds more than enough cash to cover its immediate debts.
Overall, the liquidity profile transitioned from a phase of expansion between 2022 and 2023 to a phase of compression from 2024 through 2026. While the absolute values remain strong, the consistent downward trend across all three metrics reflects a systemic decrease in short-term liquidity buffers.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 20,795,100 ÷ 6,202,100 = 3.35
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The company maintained a robust liquidity position throughout the observed period, although a distinct shift in the trajectory of its short-term solvency metrics occurred after December 2023. While the capacity to meet immediate obligations remains strong, there is a visible compression in the liquidity margin during the latter half of the analyzed timeframe.
- Current Asset Trends
- Current assets exhibited a general growth pattern, rising from US$ 14.31 billion in March 2022 to a peak of US$ 19.48 billion in December 2023. Following a period of moderate volatility and a slight contraction through the first half of 2025, assets resumed an upward trend, reaching US$ 20.80 billion by September 2026.
- Current Liability Trends
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating between US$ 2.88 billion and US$ 3.66 billion from March 2022 through June 2025. A significant acceleration in short-term obligations is observed starting in September 2025, with liabilities climbing sharply to US$ 6.20 billion by September 2026. This represents a substantial increase in the company's short-term financial commitments over the final five quarters.
- Current Ratio Interpretation
- The current ratio reached its zenith of 5.69 in December 2023, reflecting a very high cushion of liquid assets relative to liabilities. From January 2024 onward, a consistent downward trend is observed, with the ratio declining to 3.35 by September 2026. This decline is primarily attributable to the rapid expansion of current liabilities outpacing the growth of current assets. Despite this reduction, the ratio remains well above 1.0, indicating that the company continues to possess sufficient liquidity to cover its short-term debts.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 16,879,700 ÷ 6,202,100 = 2.72
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the liquidity position from March 2022 through September 2026 reveals a period of initial liquidity expansion followed by a steady contraction in the quick ratio. While the ratio remains well above the threshold of 1.0, indicating a strong capacity to meet short-term obligations without relying on inventory sales, a clear downward trajectory is evident in the latter half of the period.
- Quick Ratio Trends
- The quick ratio experienced an upward trend during the first two years, peaking at 4.82 in December 2023. Following this peak, the ratio began a consistent decline, reaching a low of 2.63 in June 2026 before slightly recovering to 2.72 by September 2026. This transition represents a significant reduction in the margin of safety for short-term solvency, although the final value still indicates a robust liquidity position.
- Quick Asset Dynamics
- Total quick assets grew from 11.89 billion USD in March 2022 to a peak of 16.51 billion USD in December 2023. Between March 2024 and December 2024, assets fluctuated and dipped to 13.91 billion USD. A subsequent recovery occurred toward the end of the analyzed period, with quick assets reaching a high of 16.88 billion USD by September 2026. This suggests that the decline in the overall ratio was not caused by a lack of liquid assets, but rather by the scale of obligations.
- Current Liability Growth
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable between 2.88 billion USD and 3.66 billion USD from March 2022 through March 2025. However, a sharp increase in liabilities was observed starting in June 2025, with the figure rising from 3.67 billion USD to 6.20 billion USD by September 2026. This accelerated growth in short-term obligations is the primary driver behind the compression of the quick ratio during the 2025 and 2026 periods.
- Liquidity Synthesis
- The divergence between the growth of quick assets and the more aggressive expansion of current liabilities since 2025 has led to a diminishing liquidity buffer. The shift from a ratio peak of 4.82 to a terminal value of 2.72 reflects a change in the company's short-term financial structure, characterized by a substantial increase in current obligations that outpaced the growth of liquid holdings.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 9,301,100 ÷ 6,202,100 = 1.50
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The liquidity position of the organization exhibits a cyclical pattern characterized by an initial expansion of cash reserves followed by a steady contraction in the cash ratio over the analyzed period.
- Cash Asset Volatility
- Total cash assets experienced a growth phase from March 2022, rising from 7.05 billion to a peak of 10.84 billion by December 2023. Subsequent to this peak, a downward trajectory was observed through the first half of 2025, where assets reached a low of 7.47 billion in March 2025, before recovering to 9.30 billion by September 2026.
- Current Liability Expansion
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 2.88 billion and 3.60 billion from March 2022 through March 2024. A significant upward trend emerged thereafter, with short-term obligations increasing aggressively to reach 6.20 billion by September 2026, representing a substantial increase in total current liabilities over the observed timeframe.
- Cash Ratio Dynamics
- The cash ratio, indicating the ability to settle current liabilities using only cash assets, peaked at 3.17 in December 2023. Following this peak, a consistent decline was recorded, with the ratio falling to 1.50 by September 2026. This trend reflects a divergence where the growth of current liabilities has outpaced the growth and retention of cash reserves.
Overall, while the cash ratio remains above 1.0, indicating that the organization retains sufficient liquid assets to cover its immediate obligations, the long-term trend reveals a transition toward a less conservative liquidity posture.
