Current Ratio

The current ratio of 2.51x means Applied Materials has $2.51 in current assets (like cash and receivables) for every $1 of short-term liabilities, indicating a comfortable ability to pay debts due within a year.

This level is above the sector median of 1.95x and places the company in the 63rd percentile among technology peers, suggesting better-than-average liquidity. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is listed as N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is also N/A, so no recent directional insight can be drawn. The combination of a high current ratio with no trend information implies that while the absolute liquidity position appears strong, the lack of trend leaves uncertainty about whether this stability is improving or eroding. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the solid liquidity is a positive, but the absence of trend data prevents a more constructive or cautious tilt.
