- Current Ratio
- The current ratio demonstrates a fluctuating trend over the observed periods. Initially, it remained above 2.0, peaking at 3.03 in May 2020, indicating strong short-term liquidity. However, from late 2021 onwards, a significant decline is evident, dropping below 1.0 from August 2022 forward, reaching a low of 0.6 in August 2022. Though there were minor rebounds, the ratio remains under 1.0 in most recent periods, suggesting a deterioration in the company's ability to cover current liabilities with current assets.
- Quick Ratio
- Similar to the current ratio, the quick ratio started strong at over 2.0 in 2019 and early 2020. It showed a peak close to the same time as the current ratio, with a high of 2.83 in May 2020, indicating good short-term liquidity excluding inventories. Following this peak, the quick ratio steadily declined, reaching below 1.0 from August 2022 onward. The lowest point recorded was 0.49 in August 2022. This decline indicates reduced liquid assets relative to current liabilities over time.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio also followed the pattern of high values early in the timeline, with a peak at 2.5 in May 2020. Subsequent periods experienced a substantial decrease, particularly noticeable from August 2022 when it dropped sharply to 0.32. Post this low, the ratio showed slight fluctuations but remained below 1.0, indicating a reduced cushion of cash and cash equivalents to cover current liabilities.
- Overall Liquidity Trends
- Across all three liquidity measures—current, quick, and cash ratios—the data reveals a trend of weakening liquidity starting mid-2021 and becoming more pronounced from mid-2022 onwards. The company’s ability to meet short-term obligations with available assets has diminished significantly when compared to earlier periods. The decline across all ratios suggests either a reduction in current and liquid assets, an increase in current liabilities, or both, leading to potential liquidity risks.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals notable trends and shifts in liquidity over the observed periods.
- Current Assets
- Current assets exhibit fluctuations throughout the timeline with several peaks and troughs. The value started at approximately 42.4 billion US dollars in August 2019, then declined over the next two quarters to a low around 33.4 billion US dollars in February 2020. A significant increase is observed in May 2020, reaching about 52.1 billion, followed by a gradual decline and further fluctuations. More recently, current assets show relative stability with moderate variation, closing at approximately 24.6 billion by August 2025. This pattern suggests periods of asset accumulation interspersed with reductions, reflecting potential operational or strategic adjustments impacting short-term asset levels.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities demonstrate a general upward trend with some volatility. Starting at 18.9 billion US dollars in August 2019, liabilities increased steadily until reaching a peak of nearly 39.9 billion by August 2025. Noteworthy spikes occur around late 2022 and from early 2024 onwards. The increasing trajectory of current liabilities signifies rising short-term obligations, which may be linked to expanding operational activities or changes in financing strategies.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio, a key measure of liquidity, exhibits a declining trend, indicating a reduction in the company’s ability to cover short-term liabilities with its current assets. Initially, the current ratio was strong at 2.25 in August 2019, improving to a peak of 3.03 in May 2020, which coincides with the period of maximum current assets. Post this peak, the ratio steadily declines with occasional minor recoveries, dropping below the critical threshold of 1.0 during several quarters starting from late 2022 and remaining under or around 1.0 in most recent periods. This decline highlights increasing liquidity risk, as current liabilities are growing faster than current assets, signaling a potential tightening of working capital management or increased reliance on short-term funding.
Overall, the financial data suggests that while assets have experienced variability, the consistent rise in liabilities coupled with a decreasing current ratio points to a weakening short-term financial position over the long term. Continuous monitoring and strategic measures may be necessary to enhance liquidity and maintain financial stability.

Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 19,848 ÷ 39,874 = 0.50
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals notable fluctuations and trends in the liquidity position over the examined periods. Three main financial metrics are considered: total quick assets, current liabilities, and the quick ratio.
- Total Quick Assets
- Total quick assets show significant variability across the periods. The value peaked notably on May 31, 2020, at 48,608 million US dollars, following a previous decline from August 31, 2019 (39,524 million) to February 29, 2020 (30,020 million). After the peak, there is a general downward trend with some intermittent increases, reaching a low of 13,547 million on November 30, 2022. Subsequent quarters show a mild recovery but values remain below initial levels, indicating a deterioration in quickly available liquid resources.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities increase overall throughout the time frame. Starting at 18,875 million US dollars on August 31, 2019, liabilities peak at 39,874 million by August 31, 2025. The data reveals periods of sharp increases, particularly from August 31, 2022 onward where current liabilities rise steeply from 34,819 million to reach the highest recorded value. This indicates growing short-term obligations, which may pressure the company's liquidity.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio shows a declining trend with substantial decreases over time, reflecting weakening liquidity relative to short-term debts. Initially, the ratio remains above 2.0 for several quarters, signifying strong liquidity. However, from May 31, 2022, it falls dramatically to as low as 0.49, suggesting that quick assets no longer sufficiently cover current liabilities. Slight improvements are recorded in some subsequent quarters, but the ratio consistently remains below 1.0, which implies liquidity risk and potential constraints in meeting immediate liabilities.
Overall, the data suggests that while the company had a solid liquidity position in the earlier quarters, there has been a clear and concerning decline in liquid assets relative to current obligations in recent periods. The rapid increase in current liabilities combined with the reduction in quick assets and declining quick ratio points to potential liquidity challenges. These trends warrant attention to liquidity management and short-term financial stability.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 11,005 ÷ 39,874 = 0.28
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Cash Assets
- The total cash assets exhibit a fluctuating pattern over the reported periods. Initially, cash assets declined from 35,704 million US$ in August 2019 to 25,858 million US$ by February 2020. Subsequently, there was a marked increase reaching a peak of 46,554 million US$ in May 2021. After this peak, total cash assets generally trended downward, with some intermittent recoveries, falling to 11,005 million US$ by August 2025. This downward trend in later periods indicates a substantial reduction in readily available cash resources compared to earlier years.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities show an overall upward trajectory across the time span. Starting from 18,875 million US$ in August 2019, liabilities increased to 24,164 million US$ by May 2021. A significant rise is observed from August 2022 onward, climbing steeply from 34,819 million US$ to reach 39,874 million US$ by August 2025. This suggests an increasing burden of short-term obligations, particularly in the more recent periods.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio, which measures the company's ability to cover current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, shows a notable decline over time. Early periods show robust ratios above 1.5, peaking at 2.5 in May 2020, indicating strong liquidity. However, from August 2022, the ratio drops sharply below 1, reaching lows around 0.27 to 0.44 through 2023 and into 2024. This lower ratio persists with slight fluctuations up to August 2025, reflecting a weakening liquidity position and potentially greater challenges in meeting short-term liabilities with cash alone.
- Summary
- The data reflects a dynamic shift in liquidity and short-term financial obligations. While total cash assets fluctuated with an overall decreasing trend from mid-2021 onward, current liabilities steadily increased, particularly in the later periods. Consequently, the cash ratio declined significantly, indicating reduced liquidity strength. This trend raises concerns about the ability to meet short-term liabilities solely through cash assets and suggests a need for closer monitoring of working capital management and potential reliance on other sources of liquidity.
