Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 0.87x means that for every $1 of short-term liabilities, the company has $0.87 in current assets—indicating that its liquid assets fall slightly short of covering its immediate obligations.
This metric sits exactly at the sector median of 0.87x, placing BTI in the 50th percentile among its Consumer Defensive peers, meaning the company is right in the middle of the pack on liquidity. The year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both listed as N/A, so there is no trend data available to assess whether this ratio is improving or deteriorating. Because the current ratio is below 1.0x and shows no directional change, it suggests a modest liquidity risk, but the lack of trend prevents any judgment on whether that risk is increasing or decreasing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the ratio is neither stronger nor weaker than the sector average, offering no clear reason to upgrade or downgrade the stock.
