The cash ratio of QuinStreet Inc. has exhibited a declining trend over the observed period from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2025. Specifically, the ratio was 0.95 in 2021, indicating that the company held nearly enough cash and cash equivalents to cover current liabilities at that time.

The most notable reduction occurred by June 30, 2024, when the ratio dropped sharply to 0.40, suggesting a significant decline in the company's cash holdings relative to its current liabilities. By June 30, 2025, the ratio experienced a partial recovery to 0.62, though it remained well below its 2021 levels.
