Liquidity Ratios (Summary)
Salesforce Inc., liquidity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2026-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-04-30).
The liquidity profile exhibits a long-term trend of relative stability followed by a significant deterioration in the most recent quarters. While the organization maintained a consistent ability to cover short-term obligations between 2022 and mid-2025, a synchronized decline across all liquidity metrics is observed starting in the latter half of 2025, suggesting a tightening of the immediate financial position.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio began at 1.33 in April 2021 before experiencing an initial drop and subsequent stabilization around the 1.0 to 1.1 range for several years. A peak of 1.12 was reached in July 2025, which was followed by a sharp decline to 0.76 in January 2026 and a marginal recovery to 0.79 by April 2026. This movement indicates that current liabilities now exceed current assets, marking a departure from the previous equilibrium.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a pattern closely aligned with the current ratio, fluctuating primarily between 0.86 and 0.96 from July 2021 through July 2025. A notable downward trend emerged in the final three quarters of the period, with the ratio falling to 0.62 by April 2026. The narrowing of this ratio suggests a reduced capacity to meet short-term liabilities using only the most liquid assets.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio demonstrated the highest degree of volatility throughout the analyzed timeframe, frequently oscillating between 0.48 and 0.76. A critical decline occurred in January 2026, where the ratio dropped to 0.26, the lowest point in the dataset. Although it recovered to 0.43 by April 2026, the overall trajectory indicates a substantial reduction in the immediate cash available to cover current liabilities compared to historical levels.

The liquidity position of the entity is characterized by a prolonged period of stability followed by a significant deterioration in the most recent quarters. For several years, the balance between short-term assets and obligations remained tight but consistent, with the current ratio hovering near the 1.0 threshold. However, a marked decline in liquidity is evident toward the end of the analyzed period, indicating an increasing reliance on other funding sources or a strategic shift in working capital management.
- Current Ratio Volatility and Stability
- The current ratio began at 1.33 in April 2021, followed by a sharp decline to 0.93 by July 2021. Following this initial volatility, the ratio entered a period of high stability from January 2022 through July 2024, remaining within a narrow range between 1.02 and 1.11. This suggests a period where current assets were managed to closely match current liabilities. A critical trend reversal occurred in late 2025, with the ratio dropping below 1.0 in October 2025 and reaching a period low of 0.76 in January 2026, before slightly recovering to 0.79 in April 2026.
- Current Assets Patterns
- Short-term assets exhibit a recurring cyclical pattern, with consistent peaks occurring every January. Notable highs include January 2024 ($29.07 billion), January 2025 ($29.73 billion), and January 2026 ($28.22 billion). Outside of these seasonal peaks, assets typically fluctuated between $16 billion and $25 billion, indicating a relatively stable baseline of liquidity resources.
- Current Liabilities and Liquidity Compression
- While current liabilities generally mirrored the movements of current assets for the majority of the period, a significant divergence occurred in January 2026. During this month, current liabilities spiked to $37.12 billion, the highest value in the analyzed timeframe. Because assets did not increase proportionally to this surge in obligations, the current ratio experienced severe compression. This spike in liabilities is the primary driver behind the transition from a balanced liquidity position to one where current liabilities exceed current assets.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The liquidity position of the organization demonstrates a long-term trend of stability followed by a notable deterioration in the most recent quarters. While the initial period began with a quick ratio above 1.0, the metric spent the majority of the subsequent five years fluctuating between 0.86 and 0.96, indicating a consistent reliance on non-quick current assets or external financing to meet total current obligations.
- Quick Asset Volatility
- Total quick assets exhibit a cyclical pattern with periodic peaks, most notably occurring every January. Assets reached a high of 25.977 billion USD in January 2025 before experiencing a significant contraction to 16.917 billion USD by April 2026. This volatility suggests fluctuations in cash and cash equivalents or short-term marketable securities throughout the fiscal cycles.
- Current Liability Expansion
- A general upward trajectory in current liabilities is evident, rising from 15.323 billion USD in April 2021 to a peak of 37.118 billion USD in January 2026. The substantial increase in short-term obligations, particularly the spike observed in early 2026, has outpaced the growth of liquid assets, placing downward pressure on the liquidity ratio.
- Quick Ratio Deterioration
- The quick ratio remained relatively stable, oscillating near the 0.90 level for several years. However, a sharp decline is observed starting in October 2025, where the ratio fell to 0.78, and continued to drop to 0.64 in January 2026 and 0.62 in April 2026. This downward shift indicates a weakened capacity to satisfy immediate liabilities without relying on the sale of inventory or other less liquid current assets.
The convergence of declining quick assets and rising current liabilities toward the end of the period results in a diminished liquidity buffer. The transition from a ratio of 1.19 at the start of the series to 0.62 at the conclusion signifies a material shift in the short-term financial risk profile.

1 Q1 2027 Calculation
Cash ratio = Total cash assets ÷ Current liabilities
= 11,837 ÷ 27,502 = 0.43
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the liquidity position reveals a general deterioration in the immediate ability to cover short-term obligations with cash and cash equivalents over the observed period. While cash assets exhibited cyclical fluctuations, a consistent increase in current liabilities has exerted downward pressure on the overall liquidity profile.
- Cash Asset Trends
- Total cash assets demonstrated significant volatility, with values oscillating between a low of 9,391 million USD in October 2021 and a peak of 17,670 million USD in April 2024. A notable contraction is observed in the final quarters, where assets dropped to 9,565 million USD by January 2026 before a slight recovery to 11,837 million USD in April 2026.
- Current Liabilities Trajectory
- Current liabilities show a pronounced long-term upward trend, increasing from 15,323 million USD in April 2021 to a peak of 37,118 million USD in January 2026. The data indicates a recurring pattern of liability spikes occurring specifically in the January quarters of each year, suggesting seasonal operational obligations or structured payment cycles.
- Cash Ratio Interpretation
- The cash ratio experienced a sharp initial decline from 0.98 in April 2021 to 0.55 in July 2021. For the majority of the subsequent period, the ratio fluctuated within a range of 0.48 to 0.76. However, a critical decline is evident toward the end of the series, reaching a period minimum of 0.26 in January 2026. This represents a significant reduction in the liquidity buffer, although a partial recovery to 0.43 was recorded by April 2026.
The combination of rising current liabilities and fluctuating cash reserves has led to a weakened liquidity stance. The most acute pressure occurred in January 2026, where the convergence of peak liabilities and diminished cash assets resulted in the lowest observed cash ratio of the entire period.
