Newmont Goldcorp Corp's liquidity ratios show a fluctuating trend over the years. The current ratio, which measures the company's ability to cover its short-term obligations with its current assets, has been declining from a high of 3.31 in March 2020 to 1.63 in December 2024. This indicates a potential weakening in the company's short-term liquidity position.
The quick ratio, which provides a more stringent measure of liquidity by excluding inventory from current assets, follows a similar downward trend from 1.99 in March 2020 to 0.48 in December 2024. This suggests that the company may have difficulty meeting its immediate obligations without relying on selling its inventory.
The cash ratio, which is the most conservative measure of liquidity as it only considers cash and cash equivalents, also shows a notable decrease from 1.99 in March 2020 to 0.48 in December 2024. This indicates a declining ability to cover short-term liabilities solely with cash on hand.
Overall, the decreasing liquidity ratios over the years raise concerns about Newmont Goldcorp Corp's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations without facing liquidity constraints. It may be important for the company to closely monitor and potentially improve its liquidity position to ensure financial stability and flexibility in the face of uncertainties.
