- Current Ratio
- The current ratio shows a general declining trend from March 2020 to March 2025. Starting at a high of 5.82 in March 2020, it gradually decreases with some fluctuations, reaching a low of 3.93 by March 2025. There are periods of temporary increases, such as from June 2023 to March 2024, where it rose from 3.96 to 5.01 before declining again. Overall, the reduction indicates a tightening in short-term liquidity over the analyzed period.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio also exhibits a downward trend between March 2020 and March 2025. It starts at 5.22 in March 2020 and declines more steadily compared to the current ratio, falling to 3.07 by March 2025. Temporary recoveries are noted around late 2023 and early 2024, but these are not sustained. The quick ratio, excluding inventories, suggests decreasing immediate liquidity and a potential reduction in highly liquid assets available to cover current liabilities.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio follows a similar downward trajectory from 4.6 in March 2020 to 2.61 in March 2025. This ratio shows fluctuations with minor recoveries around late 2023 to early 2024, peaking at 3.06 in June 2024 before declining again. The decreasing cash ratio reflects a reduction in cash and cash equivalents relative to current liabilities, indicating a gradual movement away from the highest liquidity form.

= 12,276,300 ÷ 3,121,600 = 3.93
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Trend in Current Assets
- Current assets demonstrated a steady upward trajectory over the entire period analyzed. Starting at approximately 3.34 billion USD at the end of Q1 2020, the figure generally increased each quarter, reaching over 12.28 billion USD by Q1 2025. Notable accelerations in growth appeared from late 2022 through early 2025, indicating an expanding asset base on a relatively consistent basis.
- Trend in Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities also increased throughout the time frame but at a less consistent pace compared to current assets. Beginning at roughly 573 million USD in Q1 2020, liabilities climbed significantly with some fluctuations, peaking at just over 3.12 billion USD by Q1 2025. The quarterly increases were particularly sharp from late 2021 onward, suggesting a rising short-term obligation load.
- Trend in Current Ratio
- The current ratio, which measures liquidity by comparing current assets to current liabilities, showed a downward trend initially, falling from 5.82 in Q1 2020 to a low near 3.70 in mid-2022. Subsequently, there was some recovery and fluctuation, with the ratio rising to just above 5.00 in Q2 2024 before declining again to approximately 3.93 by Q1 2025. This indicates that while the company maintained a comfortable liquidity position, the margin of safety relative to liabilities decreased over time, particularly in the most recent quarters.
- Overall Insights
- The data reflects sustained growth in current assets alongside increasing current liabilities. Although liquidity remains strong, the declining current ratio in recent periods suggests a tightening in short-term financial flexibility. This could be attributed to the company’s strategy involving higher levels of short-term obligations relative to asset growth. Monitoring this ratio is advisable to ensure continued solvency and operational stability.

1 Q1 2025 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 9,585,500 ÷ 3,121,600 = 3.07
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total quick assets
- The total quick assets show a general upward trend over the periods analyzed. Starting at approximately 2.99 billion US dollars in March 2020, the value gradually increased with some fluctuations, reaching about 3.92 billion by December 2021. A temporary dip occurred in mid-2022, with a decrease to around 3.49 billion in June 2022, but the figures recovered subsequently, rising to nearly 6.04 billion by December 2023. This growth continued into 2024, peaking at approximately 9.59 billion by the end of the first quarter.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities generally rose over the time frame, increasing from roughly 573 million US dollars in March 2020 to over 1.1 billion by the end of 2021. A slight decline was observed in early 2023, but liabilities resumed growth afterward, reaching about 3.1 billion by March 2025. The increase in liabilities is relatively steady, with occasional sharper rises, notably between December 2023 and March 2025.
- Quick ratio
- The quick ratio exhibited a declining trend in the early periods, dropping from 5.22 in March 2020 to a low of around 2.65 in March 2023. Following this trough, the ratio showed improvement, rising to approximately 3.67 in the second quarter of 2024 before modestly declining again towards 3.07 by the first quarter of 2025. This pattern suggests a period of decreasing short-term liquidity followed by a phase of recovery and stabilization.
- Overall analysis
- Comparing the trends of total quick assets and current liabilities, the company has experienced significant asset growth, particularly from late 2022 onward, outpacing the rise in current liabilities. The improving quick ratio post-2023 indicates better short-term liquidity management, despite continued increases in liabilities. The temporary dip in assets around mid-2022 may have contributed to the earlier decrease in the quick ratio, but subsequent asset accumulation supported liquidity improvement. The data reflects a dynamic financial position with expanding asset base, rising liabilities, and fluctuating but generally stable liquidity ratios over time.

Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 8,149,600 ÷ 3,121,600 = 2.61

- Total Cash Assets
- The total cash assets displayed a general upward trend from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025, starting at approximately $2.64 billion and increasing to around $8.15 billion. This growth aligns with steady quarterly increments, although a slight dip occurred between March 2022 and March 2023 where cash assets decreased from about $3.42 billion to $2.90 billion before continuing to rise. From June 2023 onwards, the increase became more pronounced, peaking near $8.3 billion by December 2024 before a modest decrease observed by March 2025.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities progressively increased over the analyzed period from approximately $573 million in March 2020 to over $3.12 billion by March 2025. There was a particularly notable acceleration in growth between December 2021 ($1.11 billion) and March 2025 ($3.12 billion), with liabilities approximately tripling. Some fluctuations occurred in mid-2022 with slight decreases and subsequent rises, but the overall trajectory remained upward.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio exhibited a declining trend from a high of 4.6 in March 2020 to a low point near 2.1 by March 2023, indicating a reduction in liquid assets relative to current liabilities. Following this, the ratio improved moderately reaching around 3.06 by December 2024 before a slight decline to approximately 2.61 in March 2025. This pattern suggests an initial decrease in liquidity position relative to obligations, followed by a partial recovery with some variability towards the end of the period.
- Overall Analysis
- Over the examined quarters, total cash assets and current liabilities both showed significant growth, with liabilities increasing at a relatively faster pace in the later period. The decreasing cash ratio during the first three years signals a weakening short-term liquidity position, which slightly improved thereafter but remained lower than initial levels. The mixed signals in liquidity ratios amid rising cash and liabilities imply a strategic expansion requiring more working capital, potentially influencing liquidity management approaches.
