Deep Analysis

The current ratio of 1.07x means Ball has $1.07 in current assets for every $1 of current liabilities, a basic measure of its ability to cover short-term obligations.

This sits below the Consumer Cyclical sector median of 1.44x, placing Ball in the 23th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio declined 4.5%, moving from 1.12x to 1.07x. A below-median level combined with a recent quarterly drop points to tighter liquidity than the typical peer, which could raise short-term funding risk. That risk sits against the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock, and this metric contradicts it by signaling a specific weakness rather than confirming a balanced outlook.
