The current ratio, which measures the company's ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets, has shown a declining trend from May 2021 to May 2024, indicating potential challenges in meeting immediate obligations.

The cash ratio, representing the company's ability to cover current liabilities with cash and equivalents, has shown fluctuations but generally depicts a declining trend over the past few quarters. Similar to the current and quick ratios, the cash ratio improved slightly in the most recent quarter compared to the previous quarter.
Overall, Oracle Corporation's liquidity ratios suggest a need for the company to closely monitor its ability to meet short-term obligations, manage its working capital effectively, and ensure sufficient cash reserves to cover liabilities.
