Deep Analysis
Apple’s current ratio of 1.07x means the company has $1.07 in short-term assets for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating it can just cover its upcoming obligations.
This ratio sits well below the technology sector median of 1.95x, placing Apple in the 17th percentile among peers—showing thinner liquidity than most. The metric lacks a year-over-year change or quarter-over-quarter change, so no trend can be assessed from the provided data. The combination of a low current ratio with no trend information suggests a liquidity risk if obligations suddenly increase, but Apple’s strong cash generation may offset that concern. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the ratio is a negative signal on its own, yet the absence of a deteriorating trend prevents a bearish downgrade.
