Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Danaher Corp., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-06-26), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-26), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-29), 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: 2022-07-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-01).
An analysis of the liquidity ratios reveals a distinct cycle of expansion, contraction, and stabilization. Short-term solvency strengthened significantly from early 2022 through the third quarter of 2023, followed by a marked decline during 2024 and a gradual recovery phase extending into mid-2026.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited a steady upward trajectory, rising from 1.68 in April 2022 to a peak of 2.26 in September 2023. This growth phase was followed by a sharp contraction, reaching a low of 1.37 in September 2024. In the subsequent period, the ratio showed signs of recovery, fluctuating between 1.40 and 1.87, and ending at 1.65 in June 2026.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio mirrored the trends of the current ratio, increasing from 1.08 in April 2022 to a high of 1.76 in September 2023. A significant downturn occurred in early 2024, during which the ratio fell below the 1.0 threshold, reaching a minimum of 0.83 between December 2023 and March 2024. A recovery was observed in late 2025, peaking at 1.28 in March 2026 before settling at 1.03 by June 2026.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio demonstrated the highest level of volatility among the three metrics. From a starting point of 0.49 in April 2022, the ratio climbed to a peak of 1.31 in September 2023. This was followed by a steep decline to a low of 0.24 in June 2025. A temporary surge to 0.76 occurred in March 2026, followed by a decrease to 0.54 by June 2026.
The synchronized movement across these three ratios suggests a systemic shift in short-term asset management. The period of peak liquidity in late 2023 was succeeded by a period of reduced liquid buffers in 2024, potentially indicating higher capital expenditures or an increase in short-term liabilities. The trend toward the end of the period indicates a return to a more stabilized liquidity position.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 13,381 ÷ 8,105 = 1.65
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The liquidity position exhibits a period of significant volatility characterized by a substantial peak in short-term solvency during 2023, followed by a sharp contraction and a subsequent recovery phase through mid-2026.
- Liquidity Expansion Phase
- From April 2022 through September 2023, there was a consistent upward trend in the current ratio, rising from 1.68 to a peak of 2.26. This improvement was driven by a steady increase in current assets, which grew from 12,670 million US$ to 21,205 million US$, outpacing the growth in current liabilities.
- Liquidity Contraction and Correction
- A sharp decline in the current ratio occurred between September 2023 and September 2024, falling from 2.26 to a low of 1.37. This downturn was primarily precipitated by a significant reduction in current assets, which dropped from 21,205 million US$ in September 2023 to 9,609 million US$ by June 2024. Although current liabilities also decreased during this period, the reduction in assets was more pronounced, resulting in a tightened liquidity margin.
- Stabilization and Recovery Phase
- Beginning in late 2024, the current ratio recovered, climbing back to 1.87 by December 2024 and maintaining this level through March 2026. This stabilization was supported by a gradual increase in current assets, reaching 13,935 million US$ by March 2026. A slight moderation is observed in the final period ending June 2026, where the ratio adjusted to 1.65 as current liabilities rose to 8,105 million US$.
- Asset and Liability Correlation
- The analysis reveals a high sensitivity of the current ratio to fluctuations in current assets. While current liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a range of approximately 6,300 million US$ to 9,400 million US$, the volatility in asset levels served as the primary driver for the shifts in short-term liquidity capacity.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 8,313 ÷ 8,105 = 1.03
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quick ratio reveals a cyclical pattern of liquidity expansion and contraction between April 2022 and June 2026. The period is marked by an initial trend of strengthening liquidity, followed by a significant reduction in quick assets that temporarily pressured the immediate coverage of current liabilities, ending with a period of volatility and partial recovery.
- Liquidity Expansion Phase (April 2022 – September 2023)
- The quick ratio demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, rising from 1.08 to a peak of 1.76. This strengthening of the liquidity position was primarily driven by a substantial increase in total quick assets, which grew from 8,124 million to 16,478 million, significantly outpacing the growth of current liabilities.
- Liquidity Contraction and Compression (December 2023 – September 2024)
- A sharp reversal occurred starting in late 2023, characterized by a precipitous decline in total quick assets, which fell to 5,672 million by June 2024. This contraction resulted in the quick ratio dropping below the critical 1.0 threshold, reaching a low of 0.83 by September 2024. During this phase, the most liquid assets were insufficient to cover current liabilities without the liquidation of inventory.
- Volatility and Recovery Period (December 2024 – June 2026)
- Liquidity levels remained depressed through the first half of 2025, with the ratio fluctuating between 0.83 and 0.96. A secondary recovery phase emerged in late 2025, with the quick ratio climbing back to 1.28 by March 2026, supported by an increase in quick assets to 9,520 million. The period concluded with a moderation of the ratio to 1.03 in June 2026, returning the liquidity position to levels similar to the beginning of the analyzed period.

The analysis of the liquidity position reveals a period of significant volatility in the cash ratio, characterized by a substantial build-up of cash assets followed by a sharp contraction and subsequent fluctuation. The most prominent trend is the rise in liquidity through late 2023, followed by a marked decline that persisted through much of 2024 and 2025.
- Liquidity Expansion and Peak
- A consistent upward trend in the cash ratio is observed from April 2022 (0.49) through September 2023, reaching a peak of 1.31. This growth was driven by a significant increase in total cash assets, which climbed from $3,717 million to a high of $12,277 million. During this peak, the organization maintained a cash position sufficient to cover all current liabilities entirely.
- Liquidity Contraction and Low Points
- A sharp reversal occurred in December 2023, where the cash ratio dropped to 0.71, coinciding with a reduction of cash assets to $5,864 million. This downward trajectory continued through 2024 and early 2025, reaching a minimum ratio of 0.24 in September 2025. This period indicates a strategic deployment of cash or an increase in cash outflows, resulting in a reduced capacity to meet short-term obligations using only the most liquid assets.
- Current Liabilities Stability
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable compared to the volatility of cash assets, fluctuating within a range between $6,324 million and $9,367 million. The peak in liabilities occurred in September 2023, aligning with the peak in cash assets, suggesting a balanced expansion of both assets and obligations during that period.
- Recent Trends and Volatility
- The most recent data indicates a volatile recovery phase. The cash ratio rose to 0.76 by March 2026, supported by a recovery in cash assets to $5,701 million, before declining again to 0.54 by June 2026. This suggests a cyclical or event-driven movement in cash reserves rather than a sustained long-term trend.
