Current Ratio

The current ratio of 1.42x means that for every dollar of short-term liabilities BMY owes, it has $1.42 in current assets like cash and receivables — a measure of its ability to cover debts due within a year.

This ratio sits below the Healthcare sector median of 2.02x, placing BMY in the 33rd percentile among its peers, indicating a lower liquidity cushion than most companies in its industry. Because the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, and only a single historical value is provided, no trend can be assessed from this data alone. The combination of a below-median level with no available trend implies that the company’s short-term financial flexibility is weaker than the sector average, but without directional movement it is unclear whether this position is improving or worsening. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the 1.42x ratio points to higher liquidity risk compared to the sector norm, aligning with a conservative stance on the stock.
