Updated 269h ago·SEC filings & market data

Key Takeaway

CSCO’s current ratio of 0.92x means its current assets cover only 92% of its current liabilities — a liquidity shortfall, since a ratio below 1.0x indicates the company may struggle to pay near-term obligations without external financing.

Deep Analysis

This sits below the sector median of 1.25x, and at the 27th percentile among peers, placing CSCO in the lower tier for liquidity. The metric’s historical trend is N/A, with year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes both listed as N/A, so there is no data on whether this position is improving or deteriorating. The combination of a low absolute level and no available trend data means investors cannot assess whether the liquidity strain is temporary or persistent, which adds uncertainty. This metric does not directly contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, but it does highlight a balance-sheet weakness that warrants monitoring.
