Current Ratio

American Tower’s current ratio of 0.40x means the company holds only $0.40 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities, indicating a low ability to cover short-term obligations.

At 0.40x, the company sits above the sector median of 0.31x, placing it in the 69th percentile among real estate peers—meaning it has a higher current ratio than 69% of its sector. However, no trend data is available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both marked as N/A, and historical values for the last eight quarters are not provided. Without a trend direction, the current ratio’s level alone offers a snapshot: while above the peer median, it remains well below 1.0x, signaling that liquidity risk persists. This low ratio supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the company’s thin current asset buffer amplifies vulnerability to short-term cash demands, even relative to its real estate sector.
