Deep Analysis

The current ratio of 1.38x means the company has $1.38 in current assets for every $1 in current liabilities, measuring its ability to pay short-term debts.

That level is below the consumer cyclical sector median of 1.44x, placing BBWI in the 48th percentile among peers, slightly below average. The year-over-year change is not available, and the 8-quarter trend is also not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is a positive +8.7%. While the absolute ratio is just under the sector median, the upward quarterly move suggests liquidity is improving from the prior level of 1.27x. This combination of a near-median ratio with a recent improvement points to a manageable liquidity position without elevated risk. The metric does not contradict the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the ratio itself is not strong enough to signal a clear margin of safety.
