The cash ratio of AdvanSix Inc, which measures the company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, fluctuated over the periods provided. The ratio ranged from a low of 0.01 as of March 31, 2023, to a high of 0.32 as of June 30, 2020.

The cash ratio showed a decreasing trend from the second quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2024, with minor fluctuations along the way. This downward trend indicates a potential decline in the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations solely with its cash reserves.

It is important to note that a cash ratio below 1 may suggest that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term obligations if they all came due immediately. However, the interpretation of the cash ratio should be considered alongside other liquidity and financial metrics for a more comprehensive analysis of AdvanSix Inc's financial health.
