The liquidity ratios of Sunrun Inc, as reflected in the data provided, show the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations:

1. Current Ratio: The current ratio measures the company's ability to pay off its short-term liabilities with its current assets. Sunrun Inc's current ratio has been fluctuating over the past eight quarters, ranging from 1.26 to 1.81. A current ratio above 1 indicates that the company has more current assets than current liabilities, with higher ratios generally considered more favorable. Sunrun's current ratio has generally been above 1, indicating a relatively healthy liquidity position.

2. Quick Ratio: The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, provides a more stringent measure of liquidity by excluding inventory from current assets. Sunrun Inc's quick ratio has ranged from 0.67 to 0.95 over the same period. A quick ratio above 1 is typically preferred, as it suggests that the company can cover its short-term liabilities without relying on inventory sales. Sunrun's quick ratio has been below 1 in all quarters, which may indicate a reliance on inventory to meet short-term obligations.

3. Cash Ratio: The cash ratio measures the company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its cash and cash equivalents. Sunrun Inc's cash ratio has varied from 0.54 to 0.77. A higher cash ratio indicates a stronger ability to meet short-term obligations with cash on hand. Sunrun's cash ratio has been below 1 in all quarters, suggesting that the company may need to rely on sources other than cash reserves to meet its short-term liabilities.

In summary, Sunrun Inc's liquidity ratios show a mixed performance over the analyzed quarters. While the current ratio generally indicates a healthy liquidity position, the quick ratio and cash ratio suggest potential limitations in the company's ability to meet short-term obligations without relying on inventory or other sources of liquidity. Investors and stakeholders should closely monitor these ratios to assess Sunrun's ongoing ability to maintain a strong liquidity position.
