HD Current Ratio Analysis

The current ratio measures whether a company can pay short-term obligations with short-term assets; a 1.04x value means HD has $1.04 in current assets for every $1 of current liabilities.

This is below the sector median of 1.24x, placing HD at the 35th percentile among sector peers. Trend data are not available: the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are both reported as N/A, and there are no historical values beyond the current 1.04x. A level below the median signals tighter liquidity than typical peers, but at 1.04x coverage is still above 1x, so near-term solvency is not immediately threatened. With no trend to confirm improvement or deterioration, the risk assessment relies on the below-median level alone. This metric supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict because HD's liquidity cushion is thinner than most sector peers and there is no evidence of a positive trajectory.
