Deep Analysis

A current ratio of 1.02x means EBAY has $1.02 in short-term assets for every $1.00 of short-term liabilities, a measure of its ability to cover near-term obligations.

This sits below the sector median of 1.24x, placing it at the 33rd percentile among peer companies. The trailing eight-quarter trend is N/A, but quarter-over-quarter the ratio fell 16.4% from 1.22x to 1.02x, while year-over-year change is also N/A. The combination of a ratio only slightly above 1.0x and a sharp quarterly decline points to a narrowing liquidity cushion, though the company still covers its current liabilities. This adds mild near-term risk but does not signal distress, since the ratio remains above the 1.0x breakeven threshold. The metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as it shows neither a strong liquidity advantage nor a critical shortfall.
