Current Ratio

The current ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term obligations with its short-term assets; a ratio below 1.0x indicates liabilities exceed assets.

Blackstone’s current ratio of 0.14x is well below the sector median of 0.79x and places the stock at the 0th percentile among its Financial Services peers, meaning nearly every peer has a higher ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and no historical values beyond the most recent 0.14x are provided. The extremely low level—combined with no observable trend to assess direction—suggests elevated short-term liquidity risk, though this metric alone may be less relevant for an asset manager like Blackstone that relies on long-term capital. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because a current ratio at the absolute bottom of the peer group typically signals a negative liquidity profile, yet the neutral rating implies other factors offset this concern.
