The cash ratio of Campbell’s Co demonstrates a declining trend over the observed periods, with values decreasing from 0.09 in July 2023 to a low of 0.03 in July 2024 before slightly improving to 0.05 by July 2025. This metric, which measures the company’s ability to meet its short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents), indicates a potential reduction in immediate liquidity over the span of these fiscal years. The notably low cash ratios, particularly the 0.03 ratios in July 2024, suggest that the company maintains only a small proportion of its current liabilities in cash, which may imply a reliance on other liquid assets or quick-current assets to meet short-term obligations. The slight recovery to 0.05 in 2025, although still relatively low, could signify a modest improvement in liquid asset positioning. Overall, the trend suggests a cautious or constrained liquidity profile, highlighting the importance for stakeholders to monitor the company's cash management and liquidity strategies moving forward.
