Deep Analysis

This sits well above the sector median of 1.26x, placing CMI at the 70th percentile among peers. The trend has been stable over the last eight quarters, with the latest value of 1.73x up 1.2% quarter over quarter from 1.71x; year-over-year data is unavailable. An above-median level combined with a stable trend implies low near-term solvency risk but no momentum toward a stronger balance-sheet position. This moderate liquidity profile reduces distress risk without creating a catalyst for outperformance
