Current Assets Trend
The current assets demonstrate a generally upward trend over the observed years. Starting at $14,190 million in 2005, there was a notable fluctuation with a decrease observed around 2008-2009, reflecting a decline from $14,674 million to $13,362 million. After 2010, current assets steadily increased, reaching a peak of $32,471 million in 2023. A slight decline follows in 2024 before rebounding in 2025 to $31,683 million. This increase in current assets over the long term suggests an expansion in liquid and short-term resources.
Current Liabilities Trend
Current liabilities exhibit a more variable pattern compared to current assets. Initially, they grew from $10,529 million in 2005 to a high of $12,931 million in 2007, then decreased considerably in the years around 2009-2011 before rising steadily to reach $28,693 million in 2022. The liabilities showed a decline to $23,110 million in 2023 and $22,015 million in 2024, followed by an increase again to $28,661 million in 2025. The overall increase in current liabilities indicates a growing short-term financial obligation corresponding to the company's operational scale.
Current Ratio Analysis
The current ratio fluctuated substantially over the time period, signaling variation in liquidity management. Starting at 1.35 in 2005, it decreased to its low points between 2007 and 2009, reaching values as low as 1.08 in 2020. Periods between 2011 and 2013 saw ratios above 1.3, indicating stronger liquidity, followed by a downward trend toward 1.01 in 2022, which is close to the threshold of potential liquidity concerns. The ratio recovered around 2013 and again in recent years, reaching 1.41 in 2023 before falling to 1.11 in 2025. The variation in current ratio suggests that while liquidity was generally maintained, some periods exhibited tightened short-term financial flexibility.
Overall Insights
Over the examined period, both current assets and liabilities grew significantly, with current assets increasing at a somewhat steadier pace. The fluctuations in the current ratio highlight periods of both comfortable liquidity and tighter financial conditions. The sharp increase in current liabilities around 2021-2022 warrants attention as it poses potential pressure on working capital. However, the maintained ratio above or near 1 throughout most periods indicates the company generally retained sufficient current assets to cover its short-term obligations, though the closer margins in recent years highlight the need for ongoing careful liquidity management.
