The cash ratio for Lumentum Holdings Inc has shown fluctuation over the past few quarters. The ratio measures the company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its cash and cash equivalents. A higher cash ratio indicates a stronger ability to meet short-term obligations without relying on external sources or liquidating other assets.

Looking at the trend, the cash ratio has generally remained above 2, indicating that the company has a comfortable level of cash to cover its short-term liabilities. The ratio peaked at 5.49 in the last two quarters of 2020, indicating a significant increase in the company's cash position relative to its short-term obligations during that period.

Although the ratio has decreased since then, it has generally stayed above 2, suggesting that the company's liquidity position remains strong. However, a decreasing trend in the cash ratio over the past few quarters may indicate a potential need for further monitoring to ensure that the company maintains an adequate cash position to meet its short-term obligations.

Overall, the cash ratio analysis suggests that Lumentum Holdings Inc has maintained a satisfactory liquidity position, but it is important for stakeholders to track any changes in the ratio to assess the company's ability to manage its short-term obligations effectively.
