Deep Analysis
The current ratio of 1.02x means the company has $1.02 in current assets for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities, a measure of its ability to pay debts due within a year.
This is below the sector median of 1.21x, placing CL in the 34th percentile among its sector peers. Trend data are not available: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no direction can be inferred. A current ratio slightly above 1.0x suggests the company’s liquidity is tight, and the lack of trend information prevents any assessment of whether that position is improving or worsening. This combination — a low ratio relative to peers with no trend visibility — indicates a higher short-term liquidity risk. It directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the metric points to a fragile financial footing compared to the sector norm.
