Summary/Abstract: The power (or weaknesses) of firms to fulfill their short-term obligations constitutes a significant part of the ratio analysis. Ratios widely expressed as liquidity ratios are also indicative of the profitability of current assets, while at the same time showing firms' debt solvency. If an appropriate balance between profitability and debt solvency can not be established, there is a risk that profitability will decrease due to the existence of surplus funds or, in the reverse case, the risk of not meeting short term liabilities. In this respect, liquidity ratios are also a criterion for the risk of default. In this study, the liquidity ratios of firms in the education, health, sports and other social services sectors whose stocks are traded at the BIS are calculated for a certain period of time. In this way, the companies and the industry in which they are involved are put forward and the interpretation of the changes over time is tried.
