Deep Analysis

A current ratio of 0.66x means CLX has only $0.66 in current assets for every $1.00 of current liabilities due within a year, indicating tight short-term liquidity.

This sits far below the sector median of 1.25x, placing the company at the 12th percentile among peers, meaning most competitors hold a stronger liquidity buffer. The 8-quarter trend is not available, but on a quarter-over-quarter basis the metric fell 21.4%, dropping from 0.84x to 0.66x; the year-over-year change is also not available. The combination of a low level and a sharp quarterly decline points to rising pressure to meet near-term obligations, which elevates financial risk for investors. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as the liquidity position is both weak relative to peers and deteriorating.
