The cash ratio of Arcus Biosciences Inc has been gradually decreasing over the past eight quarters, starting at 7.64 in Q1 2022 and reaching 4.31 in Q4 2023. This indicates that the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations solely with its cash and cash equivalents has been declining. Although the cash ratio is still above 1, suggesting the company has sufficient liquid assets to cover its short-term liabilities, the downward trend may raise concerns about potential liquidity issues in the future. Further analysis of the company's cash flow and working capital management practices may be necessary to understand the underlying reasons for the decreasing cash ratio.
