The quick ratio for Paramount Skydance Corporation Class B Common Stock demonstrates notable fluctuation over the observed period from September 30, 2020, to June 30, 2025. Initially, the ratio was above 1.2 in late 2020, peaking at 1.47 in March 2021, indicating a strong liquidity position with sufficient liquid assets to cover current liabilities. Subsequently, the ratio maintained relative stability around 1.2 to 1.4 during 2021, suggesting consistent short-term liquidity.

From late 2021 onward, a gradual decline is evident, with the ratio decreasing to below 1.0 by September 2022, reaching 0.97. This downward trend continued into 2023, where the ratio hovered around 0.85 to 0.83, signaling a weakening liquidity position and potentially less availability of liquid assets to meet short-term obligations without relying on inventory or other less liquid current assets.

However, from the second quarter of 2023 onward, there is a modest recovery, with the ratio edging upwards back towards unity, reaching 0.99 by December 2024, and slightly exceeding it at 1.02 in March 2025. This partial recovery indicates an improvement in the company's liquidity position, although the ratio remains near the threshold of 1, which is generally considered a benchmark for sufficient liquidity.

Overall, the historical trend of the quick ratio suggests periods of adequate liquidity interspersed with phases of diminishing liquidity, notably around late 2022 and 2023, before signs of stabilization and marginal improvement in the later periods. The fluctuations reflect the company's changing ability to readily meet short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets over time.
