Current Ratio

Ball Corporation's current ratio of 1.12x means it has $1.12 in short-term assets for every $1 of short-term liabilities, measuring its ability to cover debts due within a year.

This is below the sector median of 1.44x, placing Ball in the 24th percentile among its consumer cyclical peers—indicating weaker liquidity than most competitors. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no trend data is available for the last eight quarters, so no direction can be inferred. Because the current ratio is relatively low and no trend exists, the immediate risk is that Ball has less buffer to meet short-term obligations compared to peers, but the absence of deterioration prevents a clear negative signal. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the below-median level introduces liquidity concern while the lack of trend leaves room for stability or improvement, balancing the risk.
