The cash ratio of Performance Food Group Co has shown a fluctuating trend over the years. As of June 30, 2020, the company had a cash ratio of 0.16, indicating that it had $0.16 of cash and cash equivalents for every $1 of current liabilities. However, the cash ratio dropped significantly to 0.00 as of June 30, 2021, suggesting that the company's cash and cash equivalents were insufficient to cover its short-term obligations.

Subsequently, there was a slight improvement in the cash ratio to 0.01 as of both June 30, 2022, June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024. While this indicates a marginal increase in the company's ability to meet its immediate liabilities with cash on hand, the ratio remains relatively low, signaling a potential liquidity risk.

It is important for Performance Food Group Co to closely monitor its cash position and liquidity management to ensure it can meet its short-term financial obligations effectively and sustainably. A higher cash ratio would provide greater financial flexibility and resilience during uncertain economic conditions.
