Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Oracle Corp., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2026-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-11-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-08-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-11-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-08-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-02-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-11-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-08-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-11-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-08-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-11-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-08-31).
The liquidity profile exhibits a significant transition characterized by a sharp contraction in the first year, followed by a prolonged period of volatility and a subsequent recovery toward the end of the analyzed period.
- Current Ratio Analysis
- A substantial decline is observed between August 2021 (2.04) and August 2022 (0.60). Following this contraction, the ratio fluctuated primarily below the 1.0 threshold for several quarters, indicating a period where current liabilities exceeded current assets. A recovery trend emerges in late 2025 and early 2026, peaking at 1.35 in February 2026 before settling at 1.12 in May 2026.
- Quick Ratio Analysis
- The quick ratio closely mirrors the trajectory of the current ratio, starting at 1.90 and dropping to 0.49 by August 2022. The narrow spread between the current and quick ratios during the period of decline suggests that inventory levels were not the primary driver of the liquidity shift. Similar to the current ratio, a late-stage improvement is noted, with the ratio rising to 1.22 by February 2026.
- Cash Ratio Analysis
- The most stringent liquidity measure shows a consistent pattern of initial strength (1.70) followed by a sharp reduction to a low of 0.27 in November 2022. For much of the mid-period, the cash ratio remained below 0.60, suggesting a leaner cash position relative to short-term obligations. A notable peak of 0.96 occurs in February 2026, reflecting a significant increase in cash and cash equivalents during that quarter.
The synchronicity across all three ratios suggests a systemic shift in the balance sheet structure around mid-2022. The overall trend indicates a period of constrained liquidity followed by a strategic or operational recovery, resulting in a strengthened capacity to meet immediate financial obligations by May 2026.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The liquidity profile exhibits significant volatility over the analyzed timeframe, characterized by a transition from a strong surplus of current assets to a protracted period of working capital deficiency, followed by a recent recovery.
- Initial Liquidity Strength
- Between August 2021 and May 2022, a robust liquidity position was maintained, with the current ratio beginning at 2.04 and gradually declining to 1.62. This indicates a period where current assets substantially exceeded current liabilities, providing a high margin of safety for short-term obligations.
- Period of Working Capital Deficiency
- A marked shift occurred in August 2022, when the current ratio dropped precipitously to 0.60. For the majority of the period between August 2022 and November 2024, the ratio remained consistently below 1.0, oscillating between 0.60 and 0.91. This suggests a sustained phase where current liabilities exceeded current assets, implying a reliance on continuous operational cash flows or short-term financing to meet immediate liabilities.
- Recent Trend and Recovery
- An upward trajectory in liquidity is observed in the final phase. After briefly reaching 1.02 in February 2025 and dipping to 0.62 in August 2025, the current ratio surged to 1.35 by February 2026, coinciding with a peak in current assets of 54.87 billion. The period concludes with a ratio of 1.12 in May 2026, confirming a return to a position where current assets are sufficient to cover current liabilities.

- Liquidity Deterioration and Nadir
- A substantial decline in the quick ratio occurred between August 2021 and August 2022, falling from 1.90 to 0.49. This contraction was driven by a sharp reduction in total quick assets, which decreased from 43,792 million to 17,157 million, coinciding with a significant increase in current liabilities that peaked at 34,819 million during the same month.
- Period of Constrained Liquidity
- From August 2022 through November 2025, the quick ratio remained consistently below 1.00, indicating that quick assets were insufficient to cover immediate current liabilities. Throughout this interval, the ratio fluctuated between a low of 0.49 and a high of 0.87. While total quick assets showed moderate volatility, current liabilities exhibited a steady upward trend, increasing from 27,106 million in November 2022 to 39,874 million by August 2025.
- Recovery and Stabilization
- A marked improvement in the liquidity profile is observed in early 2026. The quick ratio rose to 1.22 in February 2026 before settling at 1.01 in May 2026. This recovery was primarily propelled by a surge in total quick assets, which reached a peak of 49,851 million in February 2026, effectively offsetting the rise in current liabilities to 41,764 million.

The liquidity profile over the analyzed period exhibits three distinct phases: an initial period of high liquidity, a sustained period of constrained cash positions, and a recent phase of volatility with an overall trend toward recovery.
- Cash Asset Volatility
- Total cash assets experienced a significant contraction starting in late 2021, falling from a peak of 39,310 million USD in August 2021 to a low of 7,350 million USD by November 2022. Following this decline, cash levels remained relatively stagnant between 8,000 and 12,000 million USD for approximately two years. A substantial resurgence in cash holdings is observed beginning in February 2025, culminating in a peak of 39,132 million USD in February 2026.
- Current Liabilities Expansion
- Short-term obligations showed a general upward trajectory over the period. Current liabilities grew from 23,071 million USD in August 2021 to 41,764 million USD by May 2026. A notable spike occurred in August 2022, where liabilities jumped to 34,819 million USD, coinciding with the period of lowest cash reserves.
- Cash Ratio Analysis
- The cash ratio demonstrates a sharp transition from a position of high coverage to one of tighter liquidity. The ratio began at 1.70, indicating that cash assets significantly exceeded current liabilities. However, a precipitous drop occurred between May 2022 (1.12) and August 2022 (0.32), with the ratio bottoming out at 0.27 in November 2022. For the subsequent several quarters, the ratio remained suppressed, generally fluctuating between 0.34 and 0.48. A recovery trend emerged in late 2025 and early 2026, with the ratio reaching 0.96 in February 2026 before moderating to 0.76 in May 2026.
The convergence of rising current liabilities and fluctuating cash reserves suggests a strategic shift in liquidity management. The period between 2022 and 2024 was characterized by a diminished ability to cover short-term obligations using only cash assets. The most recent data indicates a corrective movement, as the surge in cash assets has restored the ratio to levels closer to, though still below, the initial 2021 benchmarks.
