The liquidity position of the entity exhibits a distinct cyclical trajectory over the analyzed period, characterized by a sustained phase of expansion and strengthening followed by a sharp contraction in the final quarters.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio began at 0.93 in April 2021, indicating that current liabilities slightly exceeded current assets. A consistent upward trend followed, with the ratio surpassing the 1.00 threshold by July 2021 and reaching a peak of 2.13 in October 2023. Liquidity remained robust through July 2025, maintaining a value of 2.10. However, a precipitous decline occurred starting in October 2025, with the ratio falling to 0.91 by July 2026, effectively returning the entity to its initial liquidity baseline.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio closely mirrors the movement of the current ratio, starting at 0.86 and peaking at 2.01 in October 2023. The marginal difference between the current and quick ratios throughout the period suggests that the entity holds negligible inventory, indicating that liquidity is driven primarily by highly liquid assets. Similar to the overall trend, the quick ratio experienced a significant downturn in the final quarters, closing at 0.81 in July 2026.
- Cash Ratio
- Cash liquidity followed a parallel trajectory, rising from 0.71 in April 2021 to a peak of 1.71 in October 2023. For several years, the cash ratio remained well above 1.00, signifying a strong capacity to meet short-term obligations using only cash and cash equivalents. This position deteriorated rapidly toward the end of the period, dropping to 0.52 by July 2026.
The simultaneous decline across all three liquidity metrics during the period from October 2025 to July 2026 indicates a systematic reduction in short-term solvency. The transition from a state where current assets were more than double the liabilities to a state where liabilities exceed assets suggests a significant shift in the balance sheet structure or a substantial deployment of liquid reserves.

The current ratio exhibits a distinct three-phase trajectory characterized by an initial period of sustained improvement, a phase of high-liquidity stability, and a subsequent sharp contraction.
- Liquidity Expansion (April 2021 – October 2023)
- A consistent upward trend is observed, with the current ratio rising from 0.93 in April 2021 to 2.13 by October 2023. This growth was primarily driven by a significant expansion of current assets, which increased from US$ 3,906 million to US$ 8,574 million. During this period, current liabilities remained relatively stable, facilitating a transition from a position of short-term deficit to a strong liquidity surplus.
- Stability and Peak Liquidity (January 2024 – July 2025)
- The current ratio maintained a robust posture, fluctuating within a high range between 1.83 and 2.10. Current assets reached a peak of US$ 10,545 million in January 2025. This phase indicates a period of maximum financial flexibility, where the organization held more than double the assets required to cover its short-term obligations.
- Liquidity Contraction (October 2025 – July 2026)
- A pronounced deterioration in the liquidity position occurred starting in October 2025, with the current ratio falling sharply from 1.83 to 0.91 by July 2026. This decline is attributed to a simultaneous decrease in current assets, which dropped to US$ 5,969 million, and an increase in current liabilities, which climbed to US$ 6,573 million. The final recorded value indicates a return to a liquidity position where short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets.

The analysis of liquidity metrics reveals a cyclical trend in the short-term financial position, characterized by an initial period of improvement, a sustained phase of high liquidity, and a subsequent sharp decline in the final quarters.
- Quick Assets Trend
- Total quick assets exhibited significant growth from April 30, 2021, when they stood at 3,642 million US$, reaching a peak of 9,967 million US$ in January 2025. However, a notable contraction followed, with liquid assets decreasing to 5,298 million US$ by July 31, 2026, representing a substantial reduction in available highly liquid resources.
- Current Liabilities Trend
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 3,723 million US$ and 5,548 million US$ for the majority of the period. A shift occurred starting in January 2026, where liabilities rose and stabilized at a higher plateau between 6,378 million US$ and 6,573 million US$, increasing the short-term obligations of the entity.
- Quick Ratio Interpretation
- The quick ratio began at 0.86, indicating that liquid assets were initially insufficient to cover current liabilities. A strong upward trajectory was observed through 2022 and 2023, peaking at 2.01 in October 2023, which signaled a highly conservative and liquid financial posture. This strength persisted until October 2025, after which the ratio experienced a rapid decline, falling to 1.22 in January 2026 and ending at 0.81 in July 2026. This final descent suggests a reversal to a position where short-term liabilities exceed the most liquid assets.
The convergence of declining quick assets and rising current liabilities in the final periods has resulted in a significant erosion of the liquidity buffer. The transition from a peak ratio of 2.01 to a final ratio of 0.81 indicates a marked increase in short-term financial risk and a reduction in the capacity to meet immediate obligations without relying on less liquid assets.

1 Q2 2027 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 3,403 ÷ 6,573 = 0.52
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The liquidity position exhibits three distinct phases: an initial period of gradual growth, a prolonged period of high liquidity, and a recent significant contraction in the cash-to-liability coverage.
- Cash Asset Trajectory
- Total cash assets experienced a substantial increase from 2,995 million USD in April 2021 to a peak of 8,017 million USD in January 2025. A notable surge occurred between January 2022 and April 2022, where assets grew from 3,644 million USD to 6,255 million USD. However, a sharp downward trend is evident in the final three quarters of the observed period, with assets declining from 6,843 million USD in October 2025 to 3,403 million USD by July 2026.
- Current Liabilities Trends
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable between 3,723 million USD and 5,548 million USD for the majority of the timeframe. A shift occurred in January 2026, marking the start of a consistent upward trend that culminated in 6,573 million USD by July 2026. This increase in obligations coincided with the aforementioned decline in cash assets.
- Cash Ratio Analysis
- The cash ratio reflects these underlying movements, transitioning from a sub-1.0 position (0.71 in April 2021) to a strong liquidity surplus starting in April 2022 (1.31). The ratio reached its maximum efficiency in October 2023 at 1.71, indicating a high capacity to cover short-term obligations with cash on hand. This strength persisted until October 2025, after which the ratio deteriorated rapidly, falling to 0.85 in January 2026 and reaching a period low of 0.52 by July 2026.
The convergence of declining cash reserves and rising current liabilities in the final quarters has resulted in a significant reduction of the liquidity buffer, returning the cash ratio to levels lower than those observed at the start of the analysis period.
