Current Ratio

The current ratio measures a company’s ability to cover short-term obligations with short-term assets; CBOE’s 1.39x indicates it has $1.39 in current assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

This sits above the sector median of 1.20x, placing CBOE in the 60th percentile among peers—meaning its liquidity is better than most, but not exceptional. Year-over-year change is not available, while quarter-over-quarter the ratio dropped 66.3% from 4.13x to 1.39x, a sharp decline that signals a major shift in the company’s liquidity position. The combination of an above-median level with a steep quarterly drop suggests that while CBOE still holds adequate short-term coverage, the rapid deterioration introduces near-term risk if the trend continues. This metric partially supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict—the current level is acceptable, but the negative quarterly move warrants caution rather than a bullish or bearish stance.
