Deep Analysis
A company's current ratio measures its ability to pay short-term debts by comparing current assets to current liabilities, with a ratio above 1.0x typically considered healthy.
Goldman Sachs's current ratio of 0.02x is well below the sector median of 1.21x and places it in the 0th percentile among sector peers, indicating extremely low liquid asset coverage relative to peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is -97.9%, reflecting a steep drop from 0.94x in the prior quarter. This combination of an already minimal level and a rapid decline signals elevated short-term liquidity risk, as the company holds almost no current assets against its current liabilities. The NEUTRAL verdict on the stock is not directly contradicted by this metric—the extreme current ratio highlights a specific risk factor, but other factors likely balance the overall assessment.
