- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited a general upward trend from March 31, 2020, reaching its peak around December 31, 2022, at 4.83. This indicates an increasing ability to cover current liabilities with current assets over this period. However, from early 2023 onwards, the ratio displayed a notable decline, falling to 2.52 by June 30, 2025. Despite this decrease, the current ratio remained above 2.0, suggesting the company maintained a solid liquidity position throughout.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a similar pattern to the current ratio, increasing steadily from 3.27 in March 2020 to a maximum of 4.46 in December 2022, reflecting improved short-term liquidity excluding inventories. Subsequently, a decline occurred starting in 2023, reaching 2.00 by June 2025. This downward movement may reflect a reduction in highly liquid assets or an increase in current liabilities, yet the ratio consistently stayed above 2.0, indicating an acceptable quick liquidity buffer.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio also increased from a level of 2.72 in March 2020 to nearly 3.93 by December 2022, showing enhanced coverage of current liabilities by cash and cash equivalents. From the start of 2023, there was a gradual decrease in this ratio, with a more pronounced drop observed during 2024, ending at 1.54 in June 2025. Although this represents reduced cash liquidity relative to current liabilities over time, the ratio remained above 1.0, implying the company retained sufficient cash reserves to meet short-term obligations.
- Liquidity Ratios Overview
- Overall, all three key liquidity ratios demonstrated a significant strengthening phase through the end of 2022, suggesting increasing financial stability and conservative liquidity management during that period. The subsequent decline in all ratios throughout 2023 into mid-2025 indicates a shift towards lower liquidity levels, which might be a strategic decision or a response to changing operational requirements. Despite the downward trend, the liquidity metrics consistently stayed above standard benchmark levels, reflecting a continuing capacity to meet short-term liabilities without financial distress.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 10,427,900 ÷ 4,138,400 = 2.52
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Current assets
- The current assets exhibit an overall increasing trend from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2023, starting at approximately 5.45 billion US dollars and reaching a peak exceeding 14.6 billion by the third quarter of 2023. Following this peak, there is a notable decline through mid-2024, dropping to around 8.94 billion by June 30, 2024. Subsequently, current assets show a partial recovery, increasing to slightly above 10.4 billion by June 30, 2025.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities fluctuate with a general upward trajectory over the period analyzed. Beginning at roughly 1.54 billion US dollars in March 2020, they rise to approximately 3.6 billion by the fourth quarter of 2023. The trend continues with some volatility, reaching approximately 4.13 billion by June 30, 2025. The liabilities increase steadily, with some quarters showing sharper rises, particularly between the first quarter of 2023 and mid-2023.
- Current ratio
- The current ratio displays a high level of liquidity in initial periods, starting at 3.54 in March 2020 and climbing to peaks above 4.8 by the fourth quarter of 2022. This indicates strong coverage of current liabilities by current assets. However, after the peak, the ratio declines progressively, reaching near 4.0 by the end of 2023, and further dropping significantly to the range between 2.5 and 2.7 in 2024 and mid-2025. This reduction suggests a diminishing buffer of current assets relative to current liabilities over the later periods, indicating a decline in short-term financial flexibility.
- Summary
- The data reveals a robust growth in current assets and a rise in current liabilities through late 2023, supported by a high level of liquidity as measured by the current ratio. However, starting in early 2024, current assets decrease significantly while liabilities remain elevated, leading to a sharp decline in the current ratio. This trend points to a reduced capacity to cover short-term obligations with liquid assets in recent quarters, potentially signaling increased financial risk that warrants close monitoring in subsequent periods.

- Analysis of Total Quick Assets
- The total quick assets demonstrated a generally upward trend from March 31, 2020, reaching a peak at the end of 2022. Initially, the assets increased steadily from approximately 5.04 billion US dollars in early 2020 to over 12.22 billion by December 31, 2022. However, from March 31, 2023, to March 31, 2024, the quick assets showed some volatility, with values fluctuating between roughly 11.96 billion and 13.47 billion. Following this period, there was a notable decrease in quick assets toward the end of the dataset, dropping to around 7.45 billion in June 2024 but rebounding moderately by June 2025.
- Analysis of Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibited an overall upward trajectory over the analyzed periods. Starting at approximately 1.54 billion US dollars in March 2020, these liabilities increased gradually, peaking at around 4.14 billion in June 2025. The growth was relatively consistent with minor fluctuations; for instance, there was a steady increase from March 2023 through June 2025, which correlates with periods where quick assets witnessed some volatility.
- Analysis of the Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio, an indicator of short-term liquidity, experienced significant changes throughout the reported intervals. From March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2022, the ratio remained relatively strong and above 3.0, indicating a solid liquidity position. The peak value of 4.46 was observed in December 2022, highlighting significant current asset coverage of liabilities. However, starting March 31, 2023, the quick ratio declined steadily, dropping below 3.0 by March 2024 and stabilizing around the 2.0 mark through June 2025. This decline suggests a reduction in liquidity relative to current liabilities, despite the still positive quick ratio values above 1.0.
- Summary of Key Trends
- The observed data reveal a period of consistent growth in quick assets and controlled current liabilities through 2022, supporting a strong liquidity position as evidenced by high quick ratios. Beginning in 2023, the company faced a contraction in quick assets and a continuous rise in current liabilities, resulting in a deteriorating quick ratio. This trend underscores a weakening liquidity cushion over the more recent quarters, signaling a need for close monitoring of short-term financial flexibility moving forward.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 6,382,800 ÷ 4,138,400 = 1.54
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total cash assets
- The total cash assets show an overall increasing trend from March 2020 through December 2023, rising from approximately 4.19 billion USD to a peak of around 11.93 billion USD in September 2023. After this peak, there is a noticeable decline starting in December 2023, with cash assets falling to roughly 6.38 billion USD by June 2025. This suggests a significant reduction in liquid assets during the last recorded periods, potentially reflecting increased cash outflows or investments.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities generally trend upward throughout the period observed. Starting at about 1.54 billion USD in March 2020, liabilities mostly rise with some fluctuations, reaching approximately 4.14 billion USD by June 2025. The rise is steady, with notable increases around early 2023, maintaining a relatively high level through mid-2025, indicating either growing short-term obligations or operational funding needs.
- Cash ratio
- The cash ratio mirrors changes in cash assets and current liabilities, showing a high degree of liquidity in earlier periods. Beginning at 2.72 in March 2020, the ratio climbs to a peak of around 3.93 by December 2022, demonstrating strong coverage of current liabilities by cash assets. However, from early 2023 onwards, the cash ratio declines sharply, dropping to about 1.54 by June 2025. This indicates a reduction in liquidity buffer relative to short-term liabilities, suggesting that cash holdings are becoming less sufficient to cover obligations without accessing other assets.
- Overall analysis
- The data reveals a phase of considerable liquidity buildup up to late 2023, followed by a notable depletion of cash reserves while current liabilities continue to grow. The declining cash ratio towards the end of the period highlights a potential increase in financial risk associated with reduced immediate liquidity. This trend warrants close monitoring as it may influence the company's ability to meet short-term liabilities solely through cash and cash equivalents.
