Quick ratio = (Cash + Short-term investments + Receivables) ÷ Total current liabilities
= ($1,977,130K + $2,526,870K + $1,833,040K) ÷ $4,660,770K
= 1.36

The quick ratio of KLA-Tencor Corporation has exhibited some fluctuations over the past five years. As of June 30, 2024, the quick ratio stood at 1.36, which indicates that the company had $1.36 of liquid assets available to cover each dollar of its current liabilities.

Comparing this to the previous years, we observe a slight increase from 1.33 in 2023 to 1.36 in 2024, suggesting a potential improvement in the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets.

However, when looking at a longer timeframe, we can see a downward trend in the quick ratio from 1.82 in 2020 to 1.36 in 2024. This decline may signal a potential decrease in the company's liquidity position or its ability to quickly cover its short-term liabilities using its current assets.

Overall, while the quick ratio of KLA-Tencor Corporation has fluctuated over the years, it currently stands at a level that indicates adequate liquidity to meet its short-term obligations, albeit showing a downward trend in recent years. Additional analysis and consideration of other liquidity measures would provide a more comprehensive view of the company's liquidity position.
