Newmont Corp's liquidity ratios have shown some fluctuations in the recent quarters. The current ratio, which measures the company's ability to cover its short-term obligations with its current assets, has ranged from 1.25 to 2.38 over the past eight quarters. A current ratio above 1 indicates that the company has more current assets than current liabilities. Although the ratio has been above 1 consistently, the trend shows a slight decrease from Q3 2022 to Q4 2023.
The quick ratio, a more stringent measure of liquidity that excludes inventory from current assets, has ranged from 0.98 to 2.53 over the same period. This ratio provides insight into the company's ability to meet short-term obligations without relying on the sale of inventory. Newmont Corp's quick ratio has also exhibited some variability, with a noticeable dip in Q4 2023 compared to the previous quarters.
Lastly, the cash ratio, which focuses solely on the company's ability to cover its current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, has fluctuated between 0.77 and 2.35. The decreasing trend from Q2 2022 to Q4 2023 indicates a potential change in the company's cash position relative to its current liabilities.
Overall, while Newmont Corp has maintained ratios above the ideal threshold of 1 for all three liquidity ratios, there have been some fluctuations in the recent quarters that may warrant further monitoring to ensure the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations.
