Masimo Corporation's liquidity ratios have shown varying trends over the years. The current ratio, which measures the company's ability to cover its short-term obligations with its current assets, has generally remained healthy, ranging from 1.98 to 6.23. However, there was a significant decline in the current ratio from 4.82 in March 2022 to 2.01 in September 2024, indicating a potential strain on short-term liquidity.
On the other hand, the quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, provides a more stringent measure of liquidity by excluding inventory from current assets. The quick ratio exhibited fluctuations between 0.30 and 3.54, reflecting some volatility in the company's ability to meet immediate obligations without relying on inventory sales.
Lastly, the cash ratio, which focuses solely on cash and cash equivalents to cover current liabilities, experienced a similar trend to the quick ratio, fluctuating between 0.11 and 4.17. The decrease in the cash ratio from 0.58 in December 2024 to 0.11 in September 2024 suggests a potential challenge in meeting short-term obligations with cash on hand alone.
Overall, Masimo Corporation's liquidity ratios indicate a generally stable liquidity position, although recent declines in certain ratios may warrant closer monitoring to ensure adequate short-term financial health.

An increasing trend in the cash conversion cycle may suggest challenges in managing working capital effectively or delays in collecting receivables.

It is crucial for the company to focus on optimizing its inventory turnover, accounts receivable collection, and accounts payable management to maintain a healthy cash conversion cycle.
