Deep Analysis

A current ratio of 0.36x means the company has only $0.36 in short-term assets for every $1 of short-term liabilities due within a year, indicating a thin liquidity cushion.

This sits far below the sector median of 1.24x, placing CHTR in the 5th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio fell 10.0%, from 0.40x to 0.36x. The combination of an already low liquidity level and a declining trend raises the risk that the company could struggle to meet near-term obligations without external financing. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the worsening liquidity position adds to concerns about financial flexibility.
