The cash ratio of Paramount Skydance Corporation Class B Common Stock demonstrates a fluctuating trend over the analyzed period. Starting at 0.40 as of September 30, 2020, the ratio experienced a decline by the end of 2020, reaching 0.36 in December of that year. Throughout 2021, the ratio showed improvement, reaching a peak of 0.66 on December 31, 2021, and maintaining relatively high levels during the first half of 2022, peaking at 0.55 in the first quarter of 2022.

However, from mid-2022 onward, there was a consistent downward trajectory. The ratio declined steadily from 0.42 as of June 30, 2022, to a low of 0.16 on June 30, 2023. While slightly increasing thereafter, the ratio remained relatively low, recorded at 0.18 in September 2023, and then modestly rising to 0.25 in December 2023. The subsequent quarters saw slight fluctuations, with the ratio reaching 0.31 by June 2025.

Overall, the cash ratio indicates that the company's immediate liquidity position has generally weakened over the period, especially from mid-2022 onwards, with some minor recovery observed in the later quarters. This suggests a decreasing capacity to cover current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents solely, which might reflect strategic adjustments, changes in cash management, or underlying shifts in operational liquidity.
