The current ratio of News Corp A exhibits a generally stable liquidity position over the analyzed period from September 2020 to June 2025. Initially, the ratio fluctuated modestly around 1.25 to 1.42, indicating a consistent capacity to cover short-term obligations with current assets. Notably, the ratio increased steadily from approximately 1.25 at the end of September 2020 to a peak of 1.44 by December 2023. This upward trend suggests an enhancement in liquidity posture, reflecting either improvements in current assets or a reduction in current liabilities, or a combination of both.
During the period from March 2021 to June 2022, the ratio experienced slight declines, reaching a trough of approximately 1.16 in June 2022, which could indicate a temporary compression in liquidity or increased short-term obligations. However, subsequent quarters demonstrate a recovery, with the ratio surpassing 1.25 and maintaining an upward trajectory thereafter. The most recent data points show ratios of 1.68 in March 2025 and 1.84 in June 2025, signaling a notable strengthening of liquidity position in these periods.
Overall, the current ratio's trend reflects a resilient liquidity stance, with a consistent pattern of improvement in recent periods. The ratios remain comfortably above 1.0, suggesting that News Corp A has maintained an adequate level of current assets to satisfy its short-term liabilities throughout the period. The steady increase in the ratio towards the latter part of the timeline indicates favorable liquidity management and potential strengthening of the company's operational and financial health.
