In Q4 2023, the current ratio stands at 5.13, indicating that the company has $5.13 in current assets for every $1 in current liabilities. This ratio has decreased from the previous quarter but remains at a healthy level.

The current ratio spiked to exceptionally high levels in Q3 2023 and Q2 2023, reaching 21.32 and 21.76, respectively. This surge may be attributed to a temporary increase in current assets or a decrease in current liabilities during those periods.

The current ratio has generally improved from Q1 2022 to Q3 2023, indicating a strengthening liquidity position for the company. However, in Q4 2022, the current ratio saw a decline, but it remained above the 1:1 threshold, signifying healthy liquidity overall.
