Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
ServiceNow Inc., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-31), 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 profile of the entity exhibits a period of relative stability followed by a notable deterioration in the final quarters of the observed timeframe. Across all three metrics, a peak in liquidity was recorded in September 2022, after which ratios generally trended lower, culminating in a significant decline between December 2025 and March 2026.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio remained predominantly above 1.0 from March 2022 through December 2025, indicating a consistent ability to cover short-term obligations with current assets. After peaking at 1.24 in September 2022, the ratio fluctuated within a narrow range of 1.05 to 1.17 for several years. However, a sharp contraction occurred in the final period, with the ratio falling to 1.00 in December 2025 and further declining to 0.84 by March 2026, signaling a potential liquidity constraint as current liabilities began to exceed current assets.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio closely mirrored the trajectory of the current ratio, suggesting that inventories do not significantly impact the entity's liquidity position. The ratio peaked at 1.17 in September 2022 and maintained a threshold near 1.00 for the majority of the analyzed period. A downward trend emerged in late 2025, with the ratio dropping to 0.91 in December 2025 and reaching a period low of 0.75 in March 2026, reflecting a reduced capacity to meet immediate liabilities using only the most liquid assets.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio remained the most conservative measure of liquidity throughout the period, peaking at 0.89 in September 2022. While it experienced various fluctuations, it generally stayed between 0.60 and 0.85 until the end of 2025. A distinct decline is observed in the final quarter, where the ratio fell to 0.52 in March 2026, indicating a diminished cash position relative to current liabilities.
The convergence of all three liquidity ratios toward their lowest points in March 2026 suggests a systemic reduction in short-term solvency. The shift of both the current and quick ratios below the 1.0 threshold in the final period indicates a transition from a liquid position to one where short-term assets are insufficient to cover short-term debts.

The analysis of short-term liquidity reveals a period of relative stability followed by a significant decline in the solvency margin toward the end of the reporting timeline. While the organization maintained a current ratio above 1.0 for the majority of the period, the most recent data indicates a shift where current liabilities have begun to exceed current assets.
- Asset and Liability Growth Patterns
- Current assets exhibited a general upward trajectory, increasing from 5,442 million USD in March 2022 to a peak of 10,471 million USD in December 2025, before settling at 8,435 million USD in March 2026. Concurrently, current liabilities grew from 4,852 million USD in March 2022 to 9,983 million USD by March 2026. The growth in obligations has consistently tracked or exceeded the growth in liquid assets over the long term.
- Current Ratio Stability (2022–2024)
- Between March 2022 and September 2024, the current ratio remained within a narrow and healthy range, fluctuating between 1.05 and 1.24. A peak of 1.24 was recorded in September 2022, representing the strongest liquidity position in the sequence. During this phase, the company maintained a consistent buffer, ensuring that short-term assets were always sufficient to cover immediate liabilities.
- Liquidity Deterioration (2025–2026)
- A downward trend in the current ratio became evident starting in 2025. The ratio declined from 1.12 in March 2025 to 1.00 in December 2025. This compression culminated in a sharp drop to 0.84 by March 2026. This represents a transition from a position of net short-term liquidity to a deficit, where current assets are no longer sufficient to cover current liabilities.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Quick ratio = Total quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 7,486 ÷ 9,983 = 0.75
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
An analysis of the liquidity position reveals a gradual deterioration in the ability to meet short-term obligations using the most liquid assets. While the quick ratio remained above 1.0 for the majority of the period between March 2022 and December 2024, a consistent downward trajectory is observed in the subsequent quarters, culminating in a significant decrease by the end of the analyzed timeframe.
- Quick Ratio Trajectory
- The quick ratio reached a peak of 1.17 in September 2022 before entering a period of moderate fluctuation. Between March 2023 and December 2024, the ratio generally oscillated around the 1.0 threshold, indicating a balanced relationship between liquid assets and current liabilities. However, beginning in 2025, a sustained decline is evident, with the ratio falling to 0.96 by June 2025 and reaching a period low of 0.75 by March 2026.
- Asset and Liability Dynamics
- Total quick assets demonstrated an overall upward trend, increasing from 5,160 million USD in March 2022 to a peak of 9,501 million USD in December 2025. During the same interval, current liabilities rose from 4,852 million USD to a peak of 10,443 million USD. The decline in the quick ratio is primarily attributed to current liabilities growing at a more accelerated pace than quick assets, particularly in the final year of the sequence.
- Liquidity Threshold Analysis
- The breach of the 1.0 ratio threshold became more frequent starting in March 2024, when the ratio dipped to 0.98. The most pronounced erosion of liquidity occurred between December 2025 and March 2026, where the ratio dropped sharply from 0.91 to 0.75. This indicates a shift in the liquidity profile, where the most liquid assets are no longer sufficient to cover immediate current obligations without the liquidation of other current assets or the acquisition of additional funding.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 5,182 ÷ 9,983 = 0.52

The overall liquidity profile exhibits a gradual erosion of the cash position relative to short-term obligations. Although total cash assets have increased in absolute terms over the analyzed period, the growth of current liabilities has outpaced cash accumulation, resulting in a long-term downward trend in the cash ratio.
- Cash Ratio Trajectory
- The cash ratio demonstrated moderate volatility between March 2022 and December 2024, fluctuating between a high of 0.89 in September 2022 and a low of 0.66 in December 2023. However, a more pronounced decline is observed toward the end of the period, with the ratio falling to 0.52 by March 31, 2026. This indicates a diminishing capacity to settle current liabilities using only the most liquid assets.
- Asset and Liability Dynamics
- Total cash assets grew from 4,014 million US dollars in March 2022 to a peak of 6,597 million US dollars in March 2025, before declining to 5,182 million US dollars by March 2026. In contrast, current liabilities showed a more consistent and aggressive upward trend, increasing from 4,852 million US dollars in March 2022 to a peak of 10,443 million US dollars in December 2025. The fact that liabilities more than doubled while cash assets grew more modestly explains the compression of the liquidity ratio.
- Liquidity Inflection Points
- A temporary recovery in the cash ratio occurred between December 2023 and June 2024, rising from 0.66 to 0.75. This stability was disrupted in late 2025 and early 2026, where a combination of decreasing cash reserves and high current liabilities led to the sharpest decline in the ratio observed across the entire data set.
