Current Ratio

The current ratio of 0.66x means DUK has only $0.66 in current assets for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities, indicating potential difficulty covering debts due within a year.

This sits well below the sector median of 1.20x and places the company in the 12th percentile among its peers, meaning 88% of sector companies have a higher current ratio. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is listed as N/A, and the quarter-over-quarter change is also N/A, so no directional insight can be drawn from history. The combination of a low 0.66x level and the absence of any trend data suggests a liquidity risk that merits attention, but without movement history the investment opportunity or risk cannot be further assessed. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because a current ratio this far below the sector median typically signals a financial weakness that would press toward a more cautious stance, yet the neutral rating implies other factors offset this concern.
