Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc's cash ratio has shown fluctuations over the past few years. The cash ratio measures a company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its cash and cash equivalents. A higher cash ratio indicates a stronger ability to meet short-term obligations.

In the recent quarters, the cash ratio decreased significantly from March 31, 2021, to June 30, 2021, reaching a low point of 0.29. This could suggest that the company faced challenges in maintaining sufficient cash reserves to cover its short-term obligations during this period.

However, the cash ratio improved gradually in the following quarters, reaching a peak of 1.94 on June 30, 2020. This indicates that the company was able to strengthen its liquidity position and increase its ability to meet short-term liabilities.

Overall, fluctuations in Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc's cash ratio show the company's varying levels of liquidity over time. Investors and stakeholders should carefully monitor these trends to assess the company's ability to manage its short-term financial obligations effectively.
