International Business Machines Corp., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 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: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31).
The liquidity position, as indicated by the current, quick, and cash ratios, exhibits fluctuations over the observed period. Generally, there is an improvement in liquidity metrics from 2022 to 2023, followed by a stabilization and slight decline towards the end of the period analyzed.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio demonstrates a generally improving trend, increasing from a low of 0.88 in June 2022 to a high of 1.16 in March 2023. Subsequent quarters show a slight decrease, stabilizing around 1.06-1.13 through the end of 2024. A minor decline is observed in the first half of 2025, reaching 0.91 in June, before a slight recovery to 0.96 by December 2025. This suggests a moderate ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term assets, with some variability.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio follows a similar pattern to the current ratio, improving from 0.68 in June 2022 to 0.99 in March 2023. It then experiences a more pronounced decline than the current ratio, falling to 0.78 in September 2025. The quick ratio consistently remains below the current ratio throughout the period, indicating a reliance on inventory to meet current obligations. The fluctuations suggest changes in the composition of current assets, specifically inventory levels.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio exhibits the most significant fluctuations. It begins at 0.32 in March 2022, dips to 0.24 in June 2022, and then rises to 0.57 in March 2023. Following this peak, the cash ratio generally declines, reaching 0.37 in December 2025. This indicates a varying capacity to cover immediate liabilities with only cash and cash equivalents. The relatively low values suggest a limited reliance on highly liquid assets for immediate debt coverage.
Overall, the observed trends suggest a strengthening of the liquidity position in the early part of the period, followed by a period of stabilization and a slight weakening towards the end. The quick and cash ratios indicate a greater reliance on less liquid current assets to meet short-term obligations. The fluctuations in all three ratios warrant continued monitoring to assess potential risks and opportunities related to short-term financial health.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The current ratio exhibited fluctuations over the observed period, spanning from March 31, 2022, to December 31, 2025. Initially, the ratio demonstrated a slight decline, followed by a notable increase, and then a period of relative stabilization with some subsequent variation.
- Initial Decline (Mar 31, 2022 – Jun 30, 2022)
- The current ratio began at 0.92 in March 2022 and decreased to 0.88 by June 2022. This initial decrease suggests a potential weakening in the company’s ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets during this period.
- Improvement and Peak (Sep 30, 2022 – Mar 31, 2023)
- From September 2022, the current ratio began to improve, reaching a peak of 1.16 in March 2023. This indicates a strengthening of the company’s short-term liquidity position, likely due to increases in current assets or decreases in current liabilities, or a combination of both. The ratio remained above 1.0 for the subsequent quarter, registering at 1.06 in June 2023.
- Subsequent Fluctuations and Stabilization (Jun 30, 2023 – Dec 31, 2024)
- Following the peak, the current ratio experienced a decline to 0.91 in September 2023, before recovering to 0.96 by December 2023. The ratio then remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1.04 and 1.13 through December 2024. This period suggests a more consistent, though not dramatically strong, short-term liquidity position.
- Recent Trend (Mar 31, 2025 – Dec 31, 2025)
- In the most recent quarters, the current ratio decreased to 1.01 in March 2025, then further to 0.91 in June 2025. A slight recovery was observed in September 2025 (0.93), followed by a rise to 0.96 in December 2025. This recent trend suggests a potential weakening in short-term liquidity, although the ratio remains close to 1.0, indicating the company generally possesses sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities.
Overall, the current ratio demonstrates a dynamic pattern over the analyzed timeframe. While periods of improvement and stability are evident, the recent trend warrants monitoring to ensure continued short-term financial health.

1 Q4 2025 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 32,110 ÷ 38,658 = 0.83
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The quick ratio exhibits fluctuations over the observed period, generally indicating a varying ability to meet short-term obligations with the most liquid assets. An initial decline is noted, followed by a period of improvement, and then a subsequent leveling off with some renewed fluctuation.
- Initial Decline (Mar 31, 2022 – Jun 30, 2022)
- The quick ratio decreased from 0.73 to 0.68 during this timeframe. This suggests a weakening in the company’s ability to cover its immediate liabilities with highly liquid assets. The decrease in total quick assets outpaced the decrease in current liabilities during this period.
- Improvement (Jul 30, 2022 – Mar 31, 2023)
- From June 30, 2022, to March 31, 2023, the quick ratio demonstrated an upward trend, peaking at 0.99. This improvement is attributable to a more substantial increase in total quick assets compared to the change in current liabilities. This indicates a strengthening of the short-term liquidity position.
- Stabilization and Fluctuation (Apr 01, 2023 – Dec 31, 2024)
- Following the peak, the quick ratio stabilized, fluctuating between 0.82 and 0.98. While remaining above 0.80, the ratio did not consistently increase. Both total quick assets and current liabilities experienced changes, resulting in a relatively stable, but not dramatically improving, liquidity position.
- Recent Trends (Jan 01, 2025 – Jun 30, 2025)
- The most recent data shows a slight decline in the quick ratio from 0.86 to 0.77. This is accompanied by an increase in current liabilities that exceeds the decrease in total quick assets. The ratio then recovers slightly to 0.83 by December 31, 2025, but remains below the levels observed in 2023 and 2024.
- Overall Observations
- The quick ratio generally remained above 0.70 throughout the period, suggesting an adequate, though not consistently strong, short-term liquidity position. The most significant change was the improvement observed between mid-2022 and early 2023. The recent trend indicates a potential weakening in liquidity, warranting further investigation into the composition of quick assets and the nature of current liabilities.

1 Q4 2025 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 14,471 ÷ 38,658 = 0.37
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The cash ratio, representing the ability to meet current liabilities with only cash and cash equivalents, exhibits considerable fluctuation over the observed period. Initially, the ratio decreased from 0.32 in March 2022 to 0.24 in June 2022, before recovering to 0.32 in September 2022, and then declining slightly to 0.28 by the end of 2022.
- Significant Increase (Early 2023)
- A substantial increase in the cash ratio is evident in the first half of 2023, rising from 0.28 in December 2022 to a peak of 0.57 in March 2023. This improvement is attributable to a significant increase in total cash assets, while current liabilities remained relatively stable. The ratio then moderated to 0.50 in June 2023.
Following the peak in the first half of 2023, the cash ratio generally trended downwards through the remainder of the period. A decline to 0.36 was observed in September 2023, followed by a slight increase to 0.39 in December 2023. This pattern continued into 2024, with the ratio reaching 0.60 in March 2024, before decreasing to 0.54 in June 2024, 0.48 in September 2024, and 0.45 in December 2024.
- Recent Trends (2025)
- In 2025, the cash ratio experienced a modest recovery, increasing to 0.50 in March 2025, but subsequently decreased to 0.41 in June 2025. A slight increase to 0.42 was noted in September 2025, followed by a further decline to 0.37 in December 2025. Throughout the observed period, the ratio has remained below 0.60, except for the March 2023 and March 2024 values.
The fluctuations in the cash ratio appear to be more closely correlated with changes in total cash assets than with changes in current liabilities. While current liabilities remained relatively stable, the cash ratio’s movements suggest a dynamic cash management strategy or responsiveness to operational needs. The observed trend indicates a potential weakening in the immediate liquidity position towards the end of the analyzed timeframe.
