The liquidity ratios of Select Medical Holdings Corporation, as evidenced by the current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio, have remained relatively stable over the past eight quarters.

The current ratio, which measures the company's ability to cover short-term obligations with its current assets, has fluctuated within a narrow range between 1.01 and 1.11. While a current ratio of around 1 indicates that the company can just meet its short-term liabilities with its current assets, the consistency of this ratio suggests that Select Medical has maintained a relatively stable liquidity position.

Similarly, the quick ratio, which provides a more stringent measure of liquidity by excluding inventory from current assets, has also remained consistent at around 1.01 to 1.11. This indicates that the company has a solid ability to cover its immediate liabilities without relying on inventory sales.

The cash ratio, which focuses exclusively on the most liquid assets, such as cash and cash equivalents, has shown slightly more variability but generally ranges between 0.24 and 0.29. This ratio indicates that Select Medical has a modest level of cash reserves relative to its current liabilities.

Overall, the liquidity ratios of Select Medical Holdings Corporation show a stable and satisfactory liquidity position, with the company maintaining the ability to meet its short-term obligations without significant strain on its resources.
