The analysis of liquidity ratios over the presented periods reveals several notable trends. The current ratio demonstrates a general upward movement, indicating an improvement in the company's ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. Starting below 1.0 in late 2018, the ratio gradually increased, with marked jumps around the end of 2019 and again towards late 2023 and early 2024, reaching values above 2.0, which suggests enhanced liquidity and possibly a more conservative asset management approach.
The quick ratio follows a broadly similar pattern to the current ratio, reflecting the company's short-term liquidity excluding inventory. Initial values below 1.0 gradually rise over the years, with distinct surges observed near the end of 2019 and in late 2023. The peak levels surpass 1.9, reinforcing the trend toward stronger liquid asset coverage of current liabilities.
The cash ratio, representing the most conservative liquidity measure, shows a more moderate but consistent increase over the timeline. Starting around 0.18, the ratio climbs steadily with minor fluctuations, reaching values above 0.4 intermittently and peaking near 0.56 before settling slightly lower. This pattern indicates a gradual strengthening in the company's cash and cash equivalents relative to current liabilities, emphasizing improved immediate liquidity.
- Current Ratio
- Improves from 0.87 to peaks exceeding 2.0, highlighting better overall liquidity management over time.
- Quick Ratio
- Rises from 0.76 to nearly 2.0, mirroring the current ratio’s trend and underscoring enhanced liquid assets excluding inventory.
- Cash Ratio
- Increases moderately from 0.18 to approximately 0.56, indicating a gradual boost in cash reserves relative to obligations.
Overall, the company's liquidity position improves progressively throughout the periods analyzed, with the most substantial growth occurring in late 2023 and early 2024. This improved liquidity could provide greater flexibility in meeting short-term obligations and resilience against financial uncertainties.

The quarterly financial data reveals notable fluctuations and overall trends in the company's liquidity position over the analyzed period. The current assets exhibited a general upward trend, increasing from approximately 376 million US dollars at the end of 2018 to a peak of about 725 million US dollars in the first quarter of 2025. Despite some intermittent decreases, the trajectory indicates a strengthening asset base available to cover short-term obligations.
Current liabilities showed variability with periods of both increase and decline. Starting at roughly 433 million US dollars at the end of 2018, liabilities peaked above 559 million US dollars in the third quarter of 2021, followed by a significant drop to about 322 million US dollars in the fourth quarter of 2021. Subsequently, liabilities oscillated around the 330 to 430 million US dollars range through early 2025, evidencing some volatility but no definitive long-term upward or downward trend.
The current ratio, reflecting liquidity and the ability to meet short-term liabilities with current assets, consistently improved over time. Beginning at a ratio below 1.0 in late 2018, indicating weaker liquidity, it crossed the critical threshold of 1.0 around the end of 2019 and maintained mostly above this level thereafter. The ratio surged notably in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 1.44 and continued an increasing trend, reaching a high of 2.11 by the first quarter of 2025. This improvement suggests a strengthening liquidity position, enabling the company to cover its short-term obligations more comfortably.
The increase in the current ratio, driven predominantly by the growth in current assets combined with managed fluctuations in current liabilities, denotes enhanced short-term financial stability. However, the observed volatility in liabilities, including sharp decreases and rises, may warrant attention to ensure continued balance between asset growth and liability management.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 639,183 ÷ 343,242 = 1.86
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Trend in Total Quick Assets
- The total quick assets show a general upward trend over the observed periods. Beginning at approximately 327 million USD at the end of 2018, the amount increased to peak values exceeding 600 million USD in early 2024. There are fluctuations along the timeline, but the overall momentum is growth, signaling an improvement in liquid asset holdings.
- Trend in Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities display variability without a clear linear trend. Starting around 433 million USD at the end of 2018, they fluctuate over time with notable decreases and increases. For instance, a notable dip occurs around the period ending late 2021 through 2024, reaching lows near 315 and 330 million USD, contrasting with peaks exceeding 500 million USD in the years prior. The fluctuations suggest variability in short-term obligations or changes in operational or financing activities.
- Trend in Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio exhibits a significant upward trend throughout the periods, indicating strengthening liquidity positions. Initially below 1.0, beginning at 0.76 at the end of 2018, the ratio gradually improves to values well above 1.0 in later years, peaking around 1.92 in early 2024. This trend points to increased ability to cover current liabilities with quick assets, improving the company's short-term financial health.
- Relationship Between Assets, Liabilities, and Quick Ratio
- The improvement in the quick ratio aligns with the overall increase in total quick assets coupled with a relative stabilization or reduction in current liabilities in some recent periods. Although liabilities show fluctuations, the more consistent growth in quick assets appears to be the dominant factor driving liquidity enhancements. The periods with the highest quick ratios correspond to intervals when quick assets peak and current liabilities are relatively lower.
- Insights
- The company shows improving liquidity, reflecting better readiness to meet short-term obligations. The growth in liquid assets and the pronounced rise in the quick ratio suggest an increasingly conservative liquidity management approach or enhanced cash and receivables conversion efficiency. Fluctuations in current liabilities may indicate variable operational scale or financing strategies, but these have not undermined the overall strengthening liquidity metrics. The analyzed data portrays a trajectory towards enhanced short-term financial stability.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 146,641 ÷ 343,242 = 0.43
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Cash Assets
-
Total cash assets displayed a generally fluctuating trend over the observed periods. Initially, the amount hovered in the range of approximately $79 million to $111 million from late 2018 through late 2019, with noticeable increases in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. In 2020, the cash assets showed a marked increase, peaking around September 2020 at roughly $157 million, followed by some contraction and subsequent growth through 2021, reaching a high of about $237 million in mid-2021.
From late 2021 into 2022 and early 2023, total cash assets saw a decline, falling below $140 million during parts of 2022 and early 2023. Nevertheless, a rebound occurred towards the end of 2023 and into early 2024, with values climbing back above $180 million at one point, before moderating again to approximately $147 million by March 2025. Overall, cash assets display cycles of accumulation and drawdown, with peaks tending to occur mid-year and troughs towards the year-end periods.
- Current Liabilities
-
Current liabilities showed some volatility but a generally decreasing tendency over the time frame analyzed. During 2018 and 2019, liabilities were relatively elevated, ranging roughly between $433 million and $491 million, with a noticeable peak near September 2019. Moving into 2020 and 2021, liabilities were inconsistent but overall remained substantial, hitting highs above $544 million in mid-2021.
Beginning in late 2021, a significant reduction in current liabilities was apparent, dropping sharply to levels near $322 million by December 2021. This lower range persisted intermittently into 2022 and 2023, with some increases but generally below the highest previous values. Late 2023 and early 2024 saw a moderate rise again, although the figures remained lower than peak values observed in 2019 to 2021. This indicates some improvement in managing short-term obligations or changes in operational or capital structure impacting liabilities.
- Cash Ratio
-
The cash ratio, reflecting the company's capacity to cover current liabilities with cash assets, showed an improving trend over the analyzed periods. Starting from a value around 0.18 at the end of 2018, the ratio increased progressively, often moving above 0.3 beginning in late 2020. Notably, it reached peaks of approximately 0.5 during late 2021 and early 2022, indicating improved liquidity during these times.
Following these peaks, the cash ratio fluctuated in the range of 0.35 to 0.46 through 2022 and 2023, suggesting maintenance of stronger liquidity relative to earlier periods. The highest ratio observed was 0.56 in late 2024, which corresponds to a relatively high level of cash assets in relation to current liabilities. Despite some variations, the overall upward trajectory indicates enhanced short-term financial flexibility and better capacity to meet current obligations solely with cash.
